Wow. One of the best in the series! So many great, touching, moving stories. Found myself unable to put down quite a few of them.
Favorites:
Heaven Help Marge Schott: The fascinating character study that got Marge Schott fired as owner of the Reds.
Guts and Glory: A moving portrait of an immature QB (Brett Favre) finding his place in the sports world.
The Man Who Loves Basketball Too Much: The Exquisite Torment of Jerry West: A riveting portrait of a man whose entire life has been centered around the bouncing of a basketball.
Ali in Havana: A thoughtful portrayal of Muhammad Ai's interaction with Fidel Castro.
The Chosen One: The classic, oft-revisited consideration of then on-the-rise golfer Tiger Woods.
It was again difficult to limit my favorites to just five. There were so many great stories in this volume. It's one I would have delight in reading again.
