BEST OF THE BEST SPORTS STORIES

by ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 8, 1964

After 20 years of annually publishing the Best Sports Stories, Dutton has assembled 62 of the best pieces and 34 of the photographs to make this book a veritable bonanza for the reading sports fan. Every major sport is represented and the stories are by the creme de la creme of the press box corps. Al Stump describes with shocking frankness the last days of TY Cobb, Dick Young writes with honest anger of the Dodgers' departure for Los Angeles. Roger Kahn, with kindly candor, reveals just what sort of man Babe Ruth was. Jimmy Cannon dips his pen in double distilled fury to rage against the unnecessary deaths of boxers. A great sports anthology.
