Get Your Balls, Bats, and Sticks on Route 66! Immortalized in
countless books, songs, and movies, Route 66 is a timeless icon of
American culture. Until now, however, no guide to this historic
byway has focused on another beloved part of American culture:
sports. That all changes with RoadTrip America A Sports Fan's Guide
to Route 66. In this groundbreaking new book, sports writer and
lifelong sports fan Ron Clements goes beyond nostalgic buildings
and classic cars to highlight historic sports venues, storied
sports professionals, and current sports events along the Mother
Road. Rolling west from Chicago to Santa Monica, the author shares
inside information about the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB teams based in
the cites and towns along Route 66. In addition, enjoy anecdotes
gathered from auto and horse racing tracks, rodeo arenas, golf
links, and the magnificent lineup of high school and collegiate
sports programs to check out along the way. The book has more than
300 photos and maps showing the various attractions in each of the
eight states covered: Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas,
New Mexico, Arizona, and California. And because no book about the
Mother Road would be complete without it, there's plenty of info
about the iconic roadside attractions that have entertained and
enthralled travelers for the past century.
