MAURY ALLEN IS A NATIONAL TREASURE
Now that Jim Murray and Leonard Koppett are gone, Maury Allen may be the greatest literary link to our storied sports past. The man is a treasure. He has more first-hand knowledge of great sporting events of the past 50 years than any single writer, and this latest book is just another example of a terrific scribe at work. Bravo! STEVEN TRAVERS Author of "Barry Bonds: Baseball's Superman" ...

Oh, My! This is a GREAT book!
This is a fascinating book, and makes a wonderful Christmas gift. The story of Dick Enberg's life is inspirational, well-written, and a page-turner. And most important, for people like me - you do not have to be a sports fan to enjoy reading this. Anyone can appreciate the stories, from Enberg's insightful view of his humble Michigan childhood to his ardent dedication to his challenging craft. ...

It's like you were on the Sideline with the Panthers!!
When I read Scott Fowler's book, Tales From The Carolina Panthers Sideline, I felt like I was pacing the sideline with the Panthers. Fowler was able to take me to the sidelines and locker room of this exciting and mercurial team. I have been a faithful reader of Scott Fowler's columns over the years in The Charlotte Observer newspaper and felt certain my personal time devoted to reading this ...

Mantle family feels dad would love this book.
It was very important to our dad that he be remembered as a great teammate and this book does an excellent job of explaining why he was admired, not only by the fans but his teammates and opponents as well.

Life Lessons from Little League Revisited: A Guide for Parents and Coaches

Sports Publishing LLC, 2005

This One is a Classic
I've read lots of books about coaching at all levels of baseball, but this is one book that I couldn't put down. It doesn't have any drills, but it does have great suggestions for selecting teams. More importantly, it tries to teach coaches and parents to be more mature and to think about the real lessons that we're teaching the kids on our teams (and that they can teach us). If you coach a ...

Hey Uncle Marv, Tell Us More Stories About "The Kohawks"
Recent history has been kind to Marv Levy as the magnificence of having won four consecutive AFC Conference championships is now replacing the earlier bitter pill of lost Superbowls. Marv Levy has become the ceremonial uncle of professional football today. He is to pro football what George Foreman is to pro boxing, the friendly enduring face of a brutal sport. This is a campfire book, a ...

High Above Courtside: The Lost Memoirs of Johnny Most

Mike Carey

Sports Publishing LLC, 2003

Reminiscences of The Ultimate Boston Celtics Fan!
No one ever cared as much about the Boston Celtics as did Johnny Most, the radio voice of the Celtics for 37 years including their 16 championship seasons. To him, no one in the green and white ever made a mistake. No opposing player failed to be a "bum" who was "mugging" the Celtics. The referees were all suspect . . . especially Jake O'Donnell. His rants anticipated the development of that ...

The Ohio State Football Encyclopedia

Jack Park

Sports Publishing LLC, 2003

The ultimate bible of Ohio State football!
In the great state of Ohio, football is a year-round fixation. Especially for fanatics of the Ohio State Buckeyes, who measure each season's success with the ghosts of its legendary past. When not anticipating the current team's fortunes, they're busy mining for factual nuggets reaffirming the program's glory years. Buckeye enthusiasts have struck gold with the latter. THE OFFICIAL OHIO STATE ...

The Golden Voices of Baseball
The story I have to tell is a wonderful and pleasant one. The author, Ted Patterson, and I were friends at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, in the late sixties when Ted was working on his thesis for his Master's Degree in Communication and Theatre. What is not revealed in this book is that his thesis, "The Golden Voices of Sport" is the basis for the book, "The Golden Voices of Baseball." I was ...

Laying It on the Line: Notes of a Team Player

Howard Griffith

Sports Publishing LLC, 2001

NFL's Finest!
As a professional book reviewer and avid reader, all I can say is: It's about time that a story like Griffith's gets some "air-time." LAYING IT ON THE LINE is uplifting and inspiring, while dispeling many of the myths about players in the NFL. It highlights the positive aspects of professional sports and reveals important ways in which team sports can develop one's mental and physical "game." ...

Revive the Royals
It's a shame that any Royals team wouldn't be inspired by reading this book. Former Kansas City Royals outfielder Frank White is right, "You've only got a few chances in life when a special challenge is put before you." So I hope future Royals teams will read this book, and maybe that inspiration will help improve the franchise. It was wonderful to experience what the former Royals are up to ...

Review - Going the Distance
I recently finished reading "The George Thomas Story: Going the Distance" by G. Thomas and J. Welsch. I feel, unequivocally, that this book merits a 5-star rating! The story entails the many moments of personal agony and anguish of a determined and courageous bicyclist by the name of George Thomas. The drama of this story, so eloquently and vividly expressed by the authors (Welsch and ...

Kent Hrbek... A Credit to the Integrity of Baseball
As a Minnesota Twins fan for some forty years, this may be perceived as a somewhat biased view...but I truly don't believe it is. Most of those who follow the game closely, and appreciate its significance on the national psyche for more than a century, will respect this straight-arrow summary--of Kent Hrbek's team, in particular; but, even more importantly, for the significance and integrity of ...

Win it for...: What a World Championship Means to Generations of Red Sox Fans

Eric Christensen

Sports Publishing LLC, 2005

This is not just about baseball
"Win It For" begins about baseball, but it ends up being much, much more. The many vignettes contained in this book create touching pictures of various people with various stories who all happen to share the love of one team. At times humorous, at times touching to the point of tears, "Win It For" kept me reading - despite the fact that its short-essay format makes it the ideal coffee table ...

A must for any race fan - loved it!!
I just bought this book from Bobby and Tim at Atlanta Motor Speedway and just loved it. We listened to the CD on the way home as my wife read the book. Then, I read the book and listened to the CD, again. The stories in this book are told by Bobby Allison himself and done only the way he can tell a story. I watched him race for years and this brought back some great memories of great moments in ...
