New York City sports history, like the city itself, is noisy,
confident, and endlessly fascinating. This is the city where Joe
Louis struck a blow against the Nazis, where major league baseball
was integrated, and where marathons and professional tennis came
into their own. The 100 Greatest Days in New York Sports, Updated
Edition, recounts New York’s greatest sporting moments, from
Jackie Robinson integrating baseball to the Ali-Frazier fight to
the New York Giants stunning the New England Patriots in Super Bowl
XLII. It covers dramatic sporting events involving the likes of
Babe Ruth, Muhammad Ali, Serena Williams, Reggie Jackson, Dr. J,
Joe Namath, and many more. This updated edition features a new,
chronological approach to highlight the remarkable history and
development of sports in the city and the nation. It also includes
many new moments, an updated ranking, and a single list that
incorporates events that took place outside the city but involved
New York teams. Pick a sport—baseball, football, basketball,
boxing, tennis—and in every case New York has had front-row seats
for the sport’s major developments and most memorable events. The
100 Greatest Days in New York Sports illuminates how important
sports are to the life of New York and the city’s preeminent
place in American sports history. It’s about all the “firsts”
that occurred here, the many titles that have been won, and all the
drama in between.
