Title: Not Till the Fat Lady Sings: The Most Dramatic Sports Finishes of All Time by Les Krantz, Doug Flutie, Jim McKay ISBN: 1-57243-558-5 Publisher: Triumph Books Pub. Date: October, 2003 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $29.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.8 (10 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: LOVED IT
Comment: The book is fun, an action packed DVD comes with and there is the greatest sports legend in broadcasting, Jim McKay, who narrates the game endings, which are close calls and suspenseful endings that are unfathomable. Great sports writing and photography. Only criticism is I didn't think Don Larson's Perfect Game in 1956 was exactly a dramatic finish like the rest of the games. The other 49 definitely are.
Rating: 5
Summary: Fantastic Sports Book!
Comment: Some reviews complained about the DVD, but I found it to be the best thing
of all. As the book states, some of the sports events in the text have
similar endings, for example a homer in the bottom of the 9th, or a shot at
the buzzer. It would get repetitious and monotonous to see that time after
time on a video program. In the book, however, some games might have similar
circumstances in the end, but they are made incredibly interesting with
commentary, stats and history. And some endings were bizarre, like when the
band came on the field in the Cal-Stanford game, or a fist fight between
some autoracers. I thought the producer of the DVD picked a great,
well-rounded selection of games, some bizarre, some the classic last minute
scoring, some slow, but exciting comebacks. As whole there was a nice
variety of game endings to round out an good program to view. The book was
excellent too. Great choices, writing and photos, above all, the photos.
It's a nice gift too. I gave a copy to my father, who loved it as much as I
did.

Summary: I wish I would have read this before I found the book
Comment: Unfortunately, I didn't. I picked it up at a Borders, and I thought it would be a great addition to "And The Fans Roared" & "And The Crowd Goes Wild". As others have pointed out, the DVD is a HUGE dissapointment. Only 20 of the 50 moments are on there, and it is all voiced over. If you listen closely on the basketball clips, not only do they have fake crowd noise, but they have the sound effect of basketball shoes squeeking on the floor, even when they show a clip of a timeout!
So if you are like me and others, and are looking to buy this for the DVD, beware!
