Description
In this warm, witty memoir, a celebrated sportswriter traces his journey from a young fact checker to an award-winning journalist, novelist, editor, and broadcaster. Across 46 lively, often surprising chapters, he recounts encounters with legendary athletes, coaches, editors, and fellow writers while reflecting on his Baltimore upbringing, his parents, and his enduring love for his family. The book offers an insightful history of American sports journalism—from its colorful early traditions and the heyday of magazine writing to the changing media landscape—while exploring ambition, friendship, integrity, loss, and the humanity behind the headlines. Told with sharp observation, affection, and a gently mischievous sense of humor, it will appeal to devoted sports fans and general readers alike.
