Marty Glickman, the incomparable sportscaster and Olympian athlete,
writes of his five decades in sports. And what a career it was! At
the heart of his autobiography is the notorious incident at the
1936 "Nazi Olympics" in Berlin. Glickman and Sam Stoller, the only
Jews on the American track and field team, were dropped from the
400-meter relay team. More than any other event that would shape
his life, this would be a defining moment for Glickman, one that
would propel him into one of the richest and longest career in
sports broadcasting history. In The Fastest Kid on the Block,
Glickman recounts his beginnings as an athlete in Brooklyn and his
early years at Syracuse University. After his devastating
experience at the Olympics, he began his broadcasting career. As
one of the best-known voices of New York City sports, he announced
many of the most exciting games in sports history, including
baseball, hockey, football, wrestling, and basketball. Glickman was
actively involved with, and now brings to life, the most
influential teams and personalities in the sports world, including
the New York Knicks, the New York Giants, Red Auerbach, Joe Namath,
Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Bradley, Bud Collins, and Mike Emrick, to
name just a few. This spirited autobiography concludes with
Glickman's trenchant observations about his fellow sports
broadcasters, the present-day Olympics, and his own tips on how to
break into the competitive, wonderful world of sports broadcasting.
