Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)A decent, humane person--who happens to be a sports writer--writes of up close and personal experiences with most of the great names in Southern Sports for the last 40 years, 1961-2001, warts, moles and all. His stories of Bryant, Jordan, Allison, and many others have a warmth and affection about them, recognizing that there are no perfect people, only ordinary people who sometimes accomplish great things...A very humane book about idols and heroes...It is also a story about Mr. Bolton's growth and understanding that sports, while enjoyable and important, are part of life, not life itself.References to experiences and coverage of the Civil Rights Movement and changes in the newspaper business give this book a depth and perspective many sports books do not have. An interesting memoir into the life and times most of us, especially Southerners, have lived.

Product Description:
For 31 years, Clyde Bolton wrote four sports columns per week for the Birmingham News. By his estimation, this makes him the most widely read Alabamian in history. He may be right.
