Bob
Miller's Tales from the Los Angeles Kings
by Randy Schultz, Bob Miller
Hardcover from Sports Publishing
ISBN: 1582618119
In Bob MillerÂ's Tales from the Los Angeles Kings, Bob Miller
shares over 30 years of Hollywood hockey with fans, reminding them of the
highs and lows of L.A. hockey, while entertaining them with behind-the-scenes
looks into the Kings organization. The Kings presented Miller with a "lifetime
contract" in 1998 to make him a part of Los Angeles sports history along
with the likes of Vin Scully and Chick Hearn.
As the "Voice of the Kings," Miller has been part of the Kings experience
from original owner Jack Kent Cooke to the flamboyant Jerry Buss; from
the teamÂ's first true superstar, Rogie Vachon, to then-owner Bruce
McNallÂ's trade that put Southern California on the hockey map.
That trade, of course, was made August 8, 1988, and it brought The Great
One to Los Angeles from Edmonton. Wayne Gretzky, the greatest hockey player
of all time, established L.A. as the center of the hockey universe during
his legendary career with the organization, and Bob Miller recounts his
favorite memories of No. 99 in this collection.
Join Miller as he skates through Kings history, examining off-the-wall
personalities and the teamÂ's greatest momentsÂ--from thrilling
playoff victories to the KingsÂ' involvement in the Lakers acquisition
of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
From the "Triple Crown Line" to Ziggy Palffy and todayÂ's Kings,
you will read about the greatest personalities ever to don the royal black
and silver and relish the stories that make Bob MillerÂ's Tales from
the Los Angeles Kings the ultimate addition to any Kings fanÂ's library. |
