Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 388 pages.William Nack is widely acknowledged as one of the f inest sports writers of the past half-century. He has won the pre stigious Eclipse Award, given annually for the best magazine piec e on horseracing, an unprecedented six times. Laura Hillenbrand, best-selling author of Seabiscuit, recently called his acclaimed biography Secretariat the gold standard of horse books. But Nack' s turf goes far beyond the racetrack. In this, his first collecti on, Nack's finest horse racing journalism is coupled with his leg endary, one-of-a-kind profiles of athletes from Sonny Liston to F ormula One driver Alex Zanardi, Rocky Marciano to Rick Pitino, an d Keith Hernandez to Willie Shoemaker. And that is not all. From his compelling history of Yankee Stadium, to his inspiring accoun t of Bob Kalsu, the only professional American athlete to die in Vietnam, to his poignant portrait of Cincinnati Reds catcher Will ard Hershberger, who, at fifteen, discovered his father dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound and later committed suicide himself , Nack serves up riveting stories of people and places. He also u ncovers some of the dirtiest secrets in sports from the shady wor ld of hit men and greedy owners who hire them to kill their horse s for insurance payoffs to weightlifting muscle men, who, while s toked up on steroids, have gone on murderous rampages. Whether wr iting about famous athletes-human and equine-or weighing in on so me of the most controversial events and personalities in sports, William Nack has few equals. Editorial Reviews Review Rarely do es sportswriting veer so easily into poetry. About the Author Wi lliam Nack recently retired from Sports Illustrated, but still co ntributes to GQ and Sports Illustrated, among other publications. He lives in Washington, D. C.
