It represents a significant piece of mid-century American sports literature. The book serves as a classic time capsule of mid-century American sporting culture, written with Smith's signature wit and accessible prose. Smith's journalistic career spanned over five decades and his work influenced an entire generation of writers. Smith realized the significance of sports in the American culture. He once stated the following: "Sports is not really a play world. I think it's the real world. The people we're writing about in professional sports, they're suffering and living and dying and loving, and trying to make their way through life just as the bricklayers and politicians are." He also said "It is no coincidence that the largest surviving monument of the ancient Greeks and Romans is the Colosseum in Rome, the Yankee Stadium of its time." Willard Mullin (September 14, 1902 - December 20, 1978) was an American sports cartoonist. He is most famous for his creation of the "Brooklyn Bum", the personification of the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team, based on circus clown Emmett Kelly's "Weary Willie" hobo persona. He was widely published: he cartooned daily for Scripps-Howard's New York World-Telegram and Sun for decades and was often published in Scripps-Howard's twenty papers, as well as in the Sporting News. Mullin was often commissioned to draw cover illustrations for yearbooks of the Brooklyn Dodgers, the New York Giants, and---after those teams moved to the West Coast---the New York Mets. Mullin also did covers for Harlem Globetrotters yearbooks. When the Mets looked to be winning the National League East in 1969, Time commissioned Mullin to draw a cover for a feature on the team. Jerry Mitchell's history of the early Mets, The Amazin' Mets, featured several previously published Mullin cartoons illustrating their early struggles. An oversize retrospective collection of Willard Mullin cartoons, titled Willard Mullin's Golden Age of Baseball: Drawings 1934-1972, was published by Fantagraphics Books in 2013. The book also contains biographical and historical information.
