William McGuire Bryson (March 3, 1915-January 1986) was a sports journalist for the Des Moines Register for 50 years. He married Mary and had three children Michael, William McGuire Jr. and a daughter, Mary Elizabeth. He published a book with son Michael called The Babe Didn't Point: And Other Stories About Iowans and Sports. His son Bill Bryson (Jr.) is a popular journalist and writer of travel books, who now lives in England.
According to Bryson Jr.'s book, The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid, Bryson Sr. was a baseball writer of some renown with an unadventurous diet and an obsession with economizing. The book also writes of the extreme competence of Bryson, Snr's baseball writing, noting how one prominent television sports journalist noted him as being "possibly the greatest baseball writer there ever was."
