About the book

Spanning nearly a century, The Library of America presents essential columns from more than three dozen masters of the press-box craft. These unforgettable dispatches from World Series, Super Bowls, and title bouts for the ages were written on deadline with passion, spontaneity, humour, and a gift for the memorable phrase. In its survey of the finest American sportswriting from Red Smith and Jimmy Cannon to Bob Ryan and Michael Wilbon, this book takes the measure of the human richness, complexity, and competitive spirit of sport and the athletes who continue to fascinate and inspire us.
