Description

Now in its sixth year and well established as the premier sports anthology, The Best American Sports Writing brings together the finest sportswriting of the past year with America's best-selling sportswriter in the guest editor's seat. Selected from more than 350 American and Canadian newspapers and magazines, the 1996 collection promises to live up to the standards set by the five popular previous volumes. This year's anthology features a wide variety of sports and sports figures - a hilarious expose of what really goes on at the Dallas Cowboys spring training camp, the sad story of heavyweight boxer Jerry Quarry and his losing battle with pugilistica dementia, a revealing portrait of "wild thing" Dennis Rodman, and an investigation of the incidence of violence committed by athletes against women. Sure to delight both the die-hard sports fan and the general reader alike, these thirty pieces capture the world of sport in all its majesty, humanity, and color.
