Hochman's career at the Daily News began on June 9, 1959, and he spent 55 years covering not just the Phillies, but everything sports, in what was to be his adopted hometown — and the town loved him back for it. He is a member of the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame. Hochman died on April 9, 2015, in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania and is interred at Har Nebo Cemetery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
