This collection marks the return to print of John Lardner, one of
America's press box giants, a classic stylist whose wry humor and
tireless reporting helped elevate sportswriting to art. The
brilliant W. C. Heinz called Lardner "the best of us." This book
shows why. Lardner applied his singular touch not only to his era's
icons-Joe Louis, Ted Williams, Satchel Paige-but to the scamps,
eccentrics, hustlers, and con men in the shadow of sports. Whether
in snappy columns or leisurely magazine pieces, Lardner held sport
of every description up to the light, forever changing the way
people wrote, read, and thought about their heroes, from superstars
to scrappers. These forty-nine pieces represent sportswriting at
the top of its game. Purchase the audio edition.
