It's only a game, Bill Littlefield's National Public Radio program
tells us, trying to keep sports in perspective. And for all the
deadly serious perspectives of sports commentators and fans,
Littlefield's is perhaps the most realistic. It is certainly the
most entertaining. Sometimes funny, sometimes poignant,
Littlefield's take on the games people play is as refreshing as it
is enlightening. From baseball Hall of Famer Kirby Puckett's
untimely death, to pickup soccer games among misfit high-schoolers,
to the most obscure nicknames and unusual mascots in college
sports, the book collects memorable commentaries from Littlefield's
popular NPR sports show as well as never-before-published essays.
No matter the topic, Littlefield illuminates the dark corners and
unlikely angles of sports with wry good humor and a lightly worn
expertise that lets nothing pass.
