Rating: 5
Summary: Terrific
Comment: This is a fabulous read. The authors have selected the most important sporting events of each day of the year and tossed out runners up so that sports nuts can argue endlessly about the choices. Amazing photos, too.
Rating: 5
Summary: What a great idea!
Comment: Pick any day of the year, and you can read the New York Times story of what the authors select as the most important sports event of that day in history. The photographs that go along with each story are terrfic as well.
While the authors got most of the sports events correct, i.e.Broadway Joe's guarantee of a Super Bowl victory, The Brooklyn Dodgers winning their first and only World Series, Roger Maris surpassing the Babe, they missed a few i.e, selecting Steve Carlton's 19 strikeouts in a loss to the Mets over Muhammad Ali becoming the first boxer in history to win the heavy weight title 3 times,and overlooking Jackie Robinson's first game with the Dodgers in favor of John Havlicek's steal to help the Celtics win the 1965 NBA Championship. In a move that will ensure ongoing discussion and controversy, the editors provide descriptions of the three runner up events for each day as well. This has already provoked a few friendly arguments around here.
This book is great, and I plan on giving it as a gift to many of my sports loving friends and family members.
