Sirkbook.com is the official website of the Steve Sirk who writes articles and books and whatnot. Not the one who actually owns stevesirk.com. That’s a totally different Steve Sirk from this one.

This Steve Sirk has covered the Columbus Crew since 1998, with the bulk of those years being with the club’s official website. Sirk’s writing has also appeared on Fox Sports Ohio, Columbus Wired, and elsewhere. He is also known to write lots of emails.

This particular Steve Sirk now has four books to his name. Published in 2009, “A Massive Season” chronicled the Columbus Crew’s first MLS Cup-winning season in 2008. In 2014, he published “Kirk Urso: Forever Massive”, in which teammates and family members tell stories of the late Kirk Urso, the Crew rookie who died of a congenital heart defect on August 5, 2012.  “A Massive Collection, Volume 1” was published in 2019, focusing on selected feature stories from Sirk’s time covering the Crew. Its sequel, “A Massive Collection, Volume 2”, was published in 2023. He will surely publish more books in the future, but they take a while. Next up is an in-progress book about the Cleveland Force (1978-1988) of the Major Indoor Soccer League.

In 2022, this Steve Sirk won a regional Emmy Award as the writer of “Sacred Ground”, a video essay that aired during Bally Sports Ohio’s broadcast of the final MLS match at Historic Crew Stadium on June 19, 2021.

The Steve Sirk whose official website this is lives in Northeast Ohio with over two million other people. (Not all in the same house.)
