Overview

Plimpton's incredible compilation of the best sports writing ever.

When it comes to popularity, American enthusiasm for sports is right up there with mom and apple pie. From this long love affair with the games of men and boys—and, increasingly, women—has sprung a vast literature that moves across fiction, nonfiction, and poetry.
