All-Time
Greatest Alabama Sports Stories (Alabama Fire Ant)
by Benny Marshall
Paperback from Fire Ant Books
ISBN: 0817350527
This collection presents 26
accounts of memorable victories and bittersweet failures marking the most
significant sports events in Alabama's history, from 1899 through 1994.
The stories capture the excitement of native son Willie Mays's heroic backfield
catch in 1954, Joe Namath's shining defeat in the Orange Bowl, Auburn's
stunning basketball win over Kentucky, and Alabama's unforgettable Rose
Bowl victory.
The stories cover several arenas of sport--football, basketball, golf,
baseball, tennis, auto racing--and are sprinkled with the glories of both
notables and relative unknowns. "Prelude to a Grand Slam" describes how
a young Bobby Jones won the Birmingham golf tournament on his way to the
national crown, while "Grand Champion" is the story of blind golfer Charley
Boswell. We learn about the "night Hank Aaron out-homered Babe Ruth" and
how the father-son duo of Bobby and Davey Allison shone at Daytona Speedway.
There are pieces on high school football heroics and Dixie Series baseball
and one on the historic football rivalry between Auburn University and
The University of Alabama.
Sixteen of the stories were written by Benny Marshall and appeared
in his book Twenty Grand, published in 1968. Additional stories
were contributed by sportswriters Clyde Bolton, Jim Martin, Wayne Martin,
Phillip Marshall, and Wendell Givens. Collectively, they offer a panoply
of highlights that will delight sports fans everywhere, especially in Alabama,
where sport is nigh to obsession. |

Game
of My Life: Alabama Crimson Tide Memorable Stories from Alabama Football
by Tommy Hicks
Hardcover from Sports Publishing LLC
ISBN: 1596700432
To borrow the slogan offered over the Bryant-Denny Stadium public address
system before the start of every Alabama home game, "This is Alabama football."
Ask a fan to talk about his favorite game and heÂ'll probably answer,
"Which season?" Ask another to describe his favorite Crimson Tide play,
and he may also respond the same way. And if asking an Alabama fan to recall
his favorite player, donÂ't be surprised if you are asked to be more
specific: "Which year? Which game? Which position?" Such is the tradition
and legacy of the program.
The tradition connects former coaches and players to the current team,
and fans from the programÂ's early days to those of today. Written
by Tommy Hicks, who has worked for five newspapers in the state of Alabama
over a 30-year span, Game of My Life: Alabama offers a view from field
level and in the huddle as 30 Alabama players share the experiences and
emotions of the favorite games of their careers.
From Harry Gilmer and his excellent play in the 1946 Rose Bowl to Brodie
Croyle leading Alabama to an impressive win over Florida in the 2005 season,
Alabama has had more than its share of great moments, great games, and
great players. Game of My Life: Alabama focuses on 30 of those moments,
30 of those games, 30 of those players. YouÂ'll discover the simple
advice and prediction head coach Paul "Bear" Bryant gave his team before
the 1967 Auburn game won by quarterback Ken StablerÂ's famous "run
in the mud." YouÂ'll also be given an insiderÂ's view of a
favorite game for Ken Stabler, Mike Shula, Brodie Croyle, Lee Roy Jordan,
Cornelius Bennett, Billy Neighbors, Woodrow Lowe, Joey Jones, Bobby Humphrey,
and many others.
Game of My Life: Alabama highlights some of the games and moments that
have added to the tradition of Alabama football. |
