Paul Gallico, Shirley Povich, Ford Frick, Red Smith, Jimmy Cannon: these are among the twenty-four sportswriters Jerome Holtzman interviewed, reporters who were most active in what's known as the Golden Age of Sports, the time between the two world wars when newspapers, not TV, re-created the drama of the boxing ring, the racetrack, and, above all, the baseball field. This revised and updated edition includes six previously unpublished chapters, offering more of the era's most famous sportswriters - Wendell Smith, Al Abrams, Fred Russell, Gene Kessler, Ray Gillespie, and Jim Schlemmer - and a new introduction by the great journalist himself. In their own casual, spicy words, these men give us their reminiscences and opinions - a collection that stands as a landmark of American oral history.
