30+ classic sports stories from the Wall Street Journal. They tell of an umpire who worries about his daughter’s short skirts. Of a father who learns some unorthodox styles in a Brooklyn Little League. And of a jockey who admits he’d really like to be a movie star. The stories cover nearly every sport, from Ping-Pong to jousting to Frisbee. The reporters take long looks at the jockey, the umpire, a champion auto racer, a football linebacker, a tennis pro, a baseball team owner, a boxer and Ted Williams. They also take critical looks at the men who broadcast and write about sports events, and they step into the underworld to show how sports betting is a sure thing – for organized crime. Edition: 1970, 2nd Printing Publisher: Dow Jones Books Binding: Softcover Approx Dimensions: 192 pages Condition: Pages are tight and clean. Faded marking on front cover.
