This book is about the greatest sports moments of the 20th Century - by one of the greatest sportswriters of the 20th Century. Shirley Povich was the Dean of American Sportswriters. As a columnist for "The Washington Post" for more than seventy-five years, he was an eyewitness to the most thrilling moments in American sports, including the celebrated 1938 race between Seabiscuit and War Admiral, the Ali-Frazier fight of 1971 and the murder of eleven Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. But Povich's columns were about more than sports - they reflected the dramatic changes in American society over the course of the 20th Century. Driven by a strong sense of social justice, Povich called for the integration of major league baseball in 1939, and twenty years later he was still at it, attacking Washington Redskins owner George Preston Marshall for having an all-white team. For the 100th anniversary of his birth, Povich's children and his former sports editor at the "Post" have pulled together this panoramic collection of Povich's most beloved columns. The result is a front-row seat to the most awe-inspiring sports moments of our American Century.
