About the book
Dave Perkins was once told by a bluntly helpful university admissions officer: You don t have the looks for TV or the voice for radio. You should go into print. Which he did, first at the Globe and Mail, and then for 36 well-travelled years at the Toronto Star. In Fun and Games, Perkins recounts hysterical, revealing, and sometimes embarrassing personal stories from almost every sport and many major championships. After 40 years of encountering a myriad of athletes, fans, team managers, and owners, Perkins offers unique observations on the Blue Jays and Raptors, 58 major championships worth of golf, 10 Olympic Games, football, hockey, boxing, horse racing, and more.
