Excellent collection
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The Moehringer, Hendra, Remnick, and Sterling pieces are standouts, but almost all the pieces sparkle with originality, integrity, and wit. It's particularly nice to see Sterling's "Soccer Parents" included alongside more standard fare, since it's somewhat experimental. Sterling has a lyrical voice and a sharp eye for detail; one hopes to hear more from her in the future.
Story of human struggle for identity and manhood.

Hurray for Moehringer! I bought this book for my dad- and avid sports fan and reader- and found myself enthralled in this particular story. I'm not a sports fan myself- which has always created a gap in my relationship with my father; but the human struggle for identity- and manhood- so clear and crisp and beautifully written has given me a new understanding of sports- and my father.
A must have for everyone looking for the humanity in sports!

What a fabulous collection! I especially enjoyed the heart warming, earnest story on Resurecting the Champ, by JR Moehringer. (you mispelled his name in the review). A must have for everyone looking for the humanity in sports!
