ISBN: 0812979982
For more than eighty years, The New Yorker has been home to some
of the toughest, wisest, funniest, and most moving sportswriting around.
The
Only Game in Town is a classic collection from a magazine with a deep
bench, including such authors as Roger Angell, John Updike, Don DeLillo,
and John McPhee. Hall of Famer Ring Lardner is here, bemoaning the lowering
of standards for baseball achievement--in 1930. John Cheever pens a story
about a boy's troubled relationship with his father and the national pastime.
From Lance Armstrong to bullfighter Sidney Franklin, from the Chinese Olympics
to the U.S. Open, the greatest plays and players, past and present, are
all covered in The Only Game in Town. At The New Yorker,
it's not whether you win or lose--it's how you write about the game. |

by John Feinstein
Hardcover from Knopf Books for Young Readers
Media Published: 2010-
ISBN: 0375865705
Bestselling writer John Feinstein is back with another exciting sports-mystery,
this one set behind the scenes at the storied Army-Navy football game.
Teen sportswriters Stevie Thomas and Susan Carol Anderson are thrilled
to be covering "America's Game." The Black Knights of Army and the Midshipmen
of Navy have met on the football field since 1890, and it's a rivalry like
no other, filled with tradition. But this year, the match-up is also filled
with intrigue.
For weeks, Stevie and Susan Carol have been spending time at Annapolis
and West Point, getting to know the players, and coaches. And the secret
service agents. Since the president will be attending the game, security
will, of course, be tighter than tight. As the game draws nearer Stevie
and Susan Carol can tell that the agents are getting tenser.
But as usual when Stevie and Susan Carol cover a big event--nothing
is quite as it seems, and the coaches aren't the only ones calling plays... |

The
Sweet Science
by A. J. Liebling
CD-ROM from Blackstone Audio Inc.
Media Published: 2007-
ISBN: 0786170182
A. J. Liebling's classic New Yorker pieces on the "sweet science of
bruising" bring vividly to life the boxing world as it once was. It depicts
the great events of boxing's American heyday: Sugar Ray Robinson's dramatic
comeback, Rocky Marciano's rise to prominence, Joe Louis's unfortunate
decline. Liebling never fails to find the human story behind the fight,
and he evokes the atmosphere in the arena as distinctly as he does the
goings-on in the ring, a combination that prompted Sports Illustrated to
name The Sweet Science the best American sports book of all time. |
