The Ohio State Buckeyes have been a powerhouse in college football
for decades, with numerous national championships and NFL draftees
to their credit. With such a successful history, it's no wonder
that the passion for Ohio State football has reached a level of
devotion that has religious overtones. Saint Woody is a Bill
Bryson-style look at Ohio State football and the spiritual
fanaticism that surrounds it. Bob Hunter tracks the development of
this powerhouse program from its earliest days to its heights under
Woody Hayes, the de facto king of Ohio State football, and beyond.
Hayes led the team to three national championships and a record of
205-61-10 over a twenty-eight-year period and was at the heart of
the Ten-Year War, a particularly intense period in the infamous
Ohio State-Michigan rivalry. Hunter also looks at the present state
of Buckeye football and the team's scarlet-and-gray-clad followers,
as well as its legion of detractors, who voted Ohio State as the
"most hated" college team in a nationwide survey. America loves-and
hates-a winner. Irreverent, honest, insightful, and always
entertaining, Saint Woody will appeal to anyone whose spirit has
ever lifted when hearing that famous cry "Go Bucks!"
In Players, Teams, and Stadium Ghosts, sportswriter Bob Hunter has
assembled a Hall of Fame collection of his best writing from the
Columbus Dispatch. Fans will encounter some of the biggest names in
sports and relive great moments from games played by amateurs and
pros. They'll encounter forgotten players and teams that struggled.
Hunter shows us LeBron James when he was a 15-year-old high school
freshman, already capturing the world's attention; 20-year-old
Derek Jeter's meteoric rise through the minors, including the
Columbus Clippers; a strange encounter with Pete Rose hustling
frozen pizzas; and the excitement of watching future WNBA star
Katie Smith dominate a Columbus Quest championship game. The common
thread is the personal touch that Hunter consistently uses to take
readers beyond the final scores and the dazzle of lights. These are
the people behind the athletes. They're remembered for how they
played, but Hunter reminds us who they were.
