Description
This lively collection brings together two decades of sports writing from one of America’s most perceptive newspaper columnists. Moving across baseball, football, basketball, golf, and a host of less conventional pursuits—including billiards, yacht racing, chess, wrestling, and ice skating—it captures the drama, humor, eccentricity, and emotional stakes that make competition so compelling. With sharp observation, wit, and a deep understanding of athletes and spectators alike, these essays explore glory, disappointment, obsession, and the enduring power of sports to illuminate human character.
