Great Idea For a Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book is the first year of the Best American Sports Writing series. The book covers a wide spectrum of sports; sports that were new to me (shuffleboard, beagling, pigeon racing), familiar sports (baseball, basketball, football, hockey) and unfamiliar sports (rodeo, horseracing, boxing) are all covered in this compilation of 26 sports writings. Needless to say, there is a wide assortment of sports covered in this collection. Some of the writings are mainly educational such as the article on Russian baseball. Others are more biographical like the fascinating story about long time referee, Earl Strom. While still others focus more on humor. Those with a humorous twist include the article, Bo Knows Fiction, where Bo Jackson pecks away on his typewriter in front of thousands of screaming fans. There is also the hilarious article on the baseball-playing Perez brothers where we learn their secret to great pitching, "Strike out somebody with coconut, and baseball no problem." And lastly there is the short sarcastic article, Personal Best, which ridicules the over-researched statistic in sports. For a sports fan who also enjoys a good read, this is a very enjoyable book.
