320 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

An abundant collection of stories from the pages of the New York Times that transcend what we know as sportswriting. Mr. Berkow has a clear understanding of the games he reports, but he also has a sharp eye for the lives of the players, an appreciation of the larger social context, and-not least-an affinity for the well-turned phrase. Ira Berkow is among the best-a Sondheim of the sports page. -George F. Will. I follow Ira Berkow in the Times with unfailing interest. -Saul Bellow. If there's anyone doing sports who is even close, I haven't read him. -Mike Royko.
