Some of my fondest memories in sports have come from games or situations where
the impossible becomes reality. As I watched, I had this feeling that I hoped an
unlikely athlete would become the hero ofthe moment or an underdog team could
pull out an unexpected victory. Some boys and girls only ever have one opportunity
to have this feeling, and we all hope that we can be there to share it with them.
This book contains the stories of some of these young athletes. I hope you enjoy reading these stories and get the feeling of why it is fun to Root for the Underdog.
Sports have been a big part of my life since my childhood days in Levittown, Pa.
I enjoyed baseball from my Little League all the way up to high school. I liked so
many sports that I was always busy playing something. In high school I lettered
in soccer, tennis and basketball. In the summer I pitched softball for several adult teams. At Kutztown University I concentrated on tennis and basketball. After
graduating from college I played on a semi-professional basketball team, the
Exeter Black Knights, which won the National Amateur Basketball Championship
in 1969. I still enjoy watching sports on television and in person - especially when my grandchildren are participating.
