Overview

Dan Coughlin serves up another round of great stories …

Meet the nutty sports team owner who nearly killed his franchise with terrible trades (and some spectators with an ill-advised publicity stunt) … The adventurous Browns lineman who flew a bombing run in Korea (though he wasn't a pilot!) and survived a gunshot wound—from his wife … The Indians slugger with the worst attitude in baseball—he didn't just menace pitchers; he menaced everyone … The brilliant and relentless tennis promoter who stole the Davis Cup … And many others—including Victor, the wrestling bear! In this third lively collection, Dan Coughlin tells yet more true tales about the most colorful characters he's known in four decades covering sports for Cleveland TV and newspapers. Turn to any page and you'll probably learn something new—and get a laugh out of it, too.
