ports. Why read about
them when you can watch them? Because
behind every sport, every athlete, every team, in every major event there are
the stories of the people who experienced the reality of what occurs when we
are not watching.

There are stories—from men who broke barriers in their
respective sport (see Jackie Robinson’s
I Never Had it Made), to
game-fixing (see
The Betrayal about the 1919 World Series), and the
devastating and unexpected consequences of concussions and injuries (see
Concussion
and Jay William’s
Life is not an Accident).
These are not all just about sports, but
about
people, about the struggles of an African American man to be the
first to play baseball on an integrated major league team, or teammates who were
offered a fortune for throwing the series and made sure they got their payout
by losing one of the most prestigious titles in sports:
The World Series.
Books on sports are about people who cheat,
who gamble, who win, who lose, who rally, and who fall, and the sacrifices that
they and their families must make daily to succeed.
