Seller's Description:
Very good. Signed by the author on title page. Very good, near fine. Pages clean and bright with no markings. Singed by the author. 304 p. Audience: General/trade. For over ten years, George Kimball has trained his sights on the ruffians, rogues, legends and buffoons who populate the sporting landscape, in his weekly columns in "The Irish Times." Whether recalling his association with departed friends like the late Payne Stewart or savagely eviscerating cheats, crooked judges, pompous officials, and drug-addled athletes, Kimball's lively 'America at Large' column has become an eagerly anticipated Thursday morning staple at breakfast tables throughout Ireland. Over the years Kimball has shared the recollections of legends like Arnold Palmer and Michael Jordan, dining at an Athens cantina with the raffish fight-fixer Robert Mittleman, walking Augusta National's Par-3 course with the colourful legend Sammy Snead or sharing a boozy evening with John Daly at Hooters nightclub. There have been poignant remembrances accompanying the demises of Hunter S. Thompson, of Ferdinand, the 1985 Kentucky Derby winner who wound up being served as somebody's dinner in Japan, and of Ted Williams, the great Boston Red Sox slugger whose frozen, severed head was cryogenically preserved by relatives hopeful of some future medical breakthrough. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction-never more so than in this hugely entertaining and wonderfully observed anthology from one of the world's top sportswriters **If you have any queries about this book please do not hesitate to contact us at hello@ravenbooks. ie**
