He was a newspaperman, specifically a baseball writer and his 1979 book, “Willie’s Time: Baseball’s Golden Age,” telling of Mays’s career and the events in American society when he starred for the Giants, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.

Einstein had two younger half-brothers, Bob and Albert. Bob Einstein was an actor, comedy writer and producer. He created and performed the character Super Dave Osborne and appeared on Curb Your Enthusiasm and Arrested Development.
