Long before journalist George Plimpton donned shoulder pads for
Paper Lion, sportswriters were stepping onto the field, arena,
track and ring. This first-of-its-kind anthology of participatory
sports writing collects 38 essays from the Gilded and Golden Age
greats. Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson, Theodore
Roosevelt, Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, Frances Elizabeth Willard,
John Muir, Jack London, Zane Grey, Ernest Hemingway, Ring Lardner,
Bill Tilden, Bobby Jones, Helen Mills, Paul Gallico, and many more
prowled America's sporting grounds with pen in hand in a time when,
as Grantland Rice put it, 'a flame...lit up the sporting skies and
covered the world'.
