Drugs in professional sports. Today''s news? Not to the authors who
take you behind the scenes into the backrooms, the board rooms and
the high perches of politics where the quest for a state''s profit
often outweighs giving the public a fair return for their loyalty
and support. This is not your average sports story. It delves into
the experiences of two people who defied fierce opposition and
personal threat to do the right thing in the management of
Thoroughbred Racing and Professional Hockey and in the evaluating
and negotiating of Pro Baseball and Football teams. We are not born
with integrity. It is the product of our pasts, how we meet life''s
challenges, and in our case, the deep faith which gave us the
courage to confront our enemies and realize our goals. Biographical
in form, you will relive the author''s early years and travel the
diverse paths their lives took. You may often ponder how this
successful partnership evolved, Man/Woman. Catholic/Jew. Poor
Boy/Rich Girl. New England Newspaper columnist/ New York
entertainment writer. Running sports facilities, hosting thousands
of patrons daily at an arena, stadium or paying field was a unique
challenge. Vin Bartimo had the prime responsibility for the action,
Roz Muller was the champion of the fans. Together, they made
winners of losing entities, shared their largesse with the
communities in which they operated and gave the public what they
wanted and deserved.
