Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: fine. First edition. First edition, first printing. Fine, fresh, unread copy in equally fine dust jacket. hardcover. 232 pp. illustrated with color and black and white photos. Autobiography. Football icon Joe Namath provides the story of his life from his boyhood days with his family in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, his high school athletic stardom (he was offered $50,000 bonus money in his senior year to sign with the major league baseball Chicago Cubs) and his decision to attend Alabama to play football under Bear Bryant. Interwoven throughout are flashbacks to his start of his pro career with the 1965 New York Jets and his first knee surgery, and memories of the iconic Super Bowl III upset win over the Baltimore Colts (after an offhand trying to shut up a heckler that he "guaranteed" a win). Then for "Broadway Joe" there was the championship ring, the pantyhose commercials, glitzy parties, women he just couldn't turn down; there were also the torn hamstrings, broken browns, multiple knee surgeries, and weekly shots of mysterious drugs to ease the constant pain. By his last year in pro football, sprinting any distance of the field was a crapshoot. An entertaining book filled with inside anecdotes.…

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very good. xiv, 274 pages. Foreword by Tampa Bay Buccaneers Coach Tony Dungy. Illustrations (color). Signed on the half title page by both co-authors (Warrick Dunn and Don Yeager). Warrick De'Mon Dunn (born January 5, 1975) is a former American football running back who played in the National Football League (NFL) for twelve seasons. He was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 12th overall in the 1997 NFL Draft, after playing college football at Florida State. Dunn was named AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 1997 and earned three Pro Bowl selections in his career. Dunn took a minority stake in the Falcons' ownership group. In 2007, Dunn, along with Andre Agassi, Muhammad Ali, Lance Armstrong, Jeff Gordon, Mia Hamm, Tony Hawk, Andrea Jaeger, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Mario Lemieux, Alonzo Mourning and Cal Ripken, Jr., founded Athletes for Hope, a charitable organization. NFL running back Warrick Dunn is truly one of the good guys in the world of sports. And in this revealing autobiography, written with New York Times bestselling author Don Yaeger, Dunn tells his incredibly moving, inspirational story of courage and determination in the face of devastating loss, a story that makes his achievements on the football field that much more amazing. On January 7, 1993, while the single mother worked a second job as a supermarket security guard, Betty Smothers was ambushed, shot, and killed while making a bank deposit. Dunn -- then a high school senior just weeks away from choosing among his college football scholarship offers -- was devastated. Dunn was only eighteen when circumstances changed and he had to look after his five siblings, but somehow he managed to enroll at Florida State and, in only his freshman year, help their team quarterback, Heisman Trophy winner and roommate Charlie Ward, win the National Championship for the 1993-94 season. And this was just the beginning of Dunn's successful career as a student athlete, which resulted in his selection to the FSU Hall of Fame. Dunn's athleticism, incomparable drive, and personality convinced Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Tony Dungy to select Dunn in the first round of the 1997 draft with the twelfth overall pick. During his career with the Bucs and the Atlanta Falcons, Dunn amassed five 1,000-yard rushing seasons, was selected to the NFL Pro Bowl three times, and became one of only twenty-three running backs to exceed the 10,000-yard career rushing mark. In 2008, he returned to the Bucs seeking to continue his success. But perhaps his greatest achievement during his time as an NFL player came off the field when he started a foundation called Homes for the Holidays, a charity that helps single parents become homeowners. But there was one person Dunn neglected in his drive to help others -- himself. He spent all of his emotional energy on his siblings and their pain, and never focused on his own. His only solace was the football field, where he truly was running for his life. It wasn't until a Falcons teammate suggested psychological counseling that Dunn began to battle the demons still haunting him from his mother's death. Uplifting and thought-provoking, Running for My Life is the story of an athlete's drive to help his family and ensure that his mother's legacy and values continue -- the story of what it really takes to be a man.
