From the South End Grounds to Fenway Park, from Boston Garden to Gillette Stadium, the history of sports in Boston has been tied to the parks and arenas in which the teams have met and the athletes competed. Beloved but abandoned sites such as the Huntington Avenue Grounds, Braves Field, and the Garden are recalled by Boston fans with the same fondness Brooklynites feel for Ebbets Field, while contemporary stadiums maintain the region's proud athletic tradition. This is the first book to tell the story of sports in Boston through the stories of these venues.Foulds gives pride of place to the region's nine best-known sites, with numerous anecdotes about such fabled teams as the Red Sox, Bruins, and Celtics along the way. But he also considers parks that have been all but forgotten, such as the Worcester County Fairgrounds, once an official National League ballpark despite the presence of a tree in left field, or Lincoln Park, the former home of black baseball in Boston. And in addition to such milestones as the first World Series and the achievements of the great Cy Young, he also recalls the Hub's support for soccer, tennis, lacrosse and, of course, the Boston Marathon.In this illustrated history, Foulds documents the variety and vibrancy of Boston sports for over a century. This history, he shows, is firmly grounded in the stories of the sites where the games have been played. Sites include:Nine Wonders of the Boston Sports World: South End Grounds, Huntington Avenue Grounds, Fenway Park, Braves Field, Boston Arena, Boston Garden, FleetCenter, Foxboro Stadium, Gillette StadiumThe Forgotten Parks: Dartmouth Street Grounds, Congress Street Grounds, Worcester County Agricultural Fairgrounds, Sam Mark's Stadium, Balmoral Park, Lincoln ParkPressed Into Service: Harvard Stadium, Revere Beach Bicycle Tracks, Malden Stadium, GE Field, Everett Stadium, Boston College Alumni Stadium, Walter Brown Arena, Volpe Center, Bowditch Field, Olympic venues, and stadiums in Lynn and Lowell.

For fourteen years during the golden age of sports, Paul Gallico was one of America’s ace sportswriters. He saw them all—the stars and the hams, the immortals and the phonies in boxing, wrestling, baseball, football, golf, tennis, and every other field of muscular endeavor in which men and women try to break hearts and necks for cash or glory. Then in 1937, at the height of his game (and the height of the payroll), Gallico suddenly and famously called it quits and left the New York Daily News. But before he departed the world of sports, he left his legions of fans one last hurrah: a collection of his best sports essays called, appropriately, Farewell to Sport.Here, in twenty-six chapters, every major and minor sport is covered. Included are sketches of Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney, Tex Rickard, and Jack Sharkey, written in an accessible, conversational style. Often credited with creating “participatory journalism, ” Gallico would play golf with Bobby Jones, catch Major League pitcher Dizzy Dean’s fastball, swim with Johnny Weissmuller, play tennis with Helen Wills, catch passes from quarterback Benny Friedman, and box with Jack Dempsey (he lasted one minute, thirty-seven seconds).

Here's the ultimate gift book for all sports fans! It features profiles and photographs of the greatest Jewish athletes throughout world history. Many are well-known names: legendary pitcher Sandy Koufax, "Hammerin'" Hank Greenberg, basketball czar Red Auerbach, and all-star quarterback Sid Luckman. These, and countless other sports greats, are honored by the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in this grand coffee-table volume. Following the 1972 Olympics, a sportswriter referred to super-swimmer Mark Spitz as "the first great Jewish Athlete". How wrong he was! While Spitz’s seven-gold-medal achievement may never be topped, this book - reaching back two centuries to England's Jewish boxing champ Daniel Mendoza - illuminates the lives and unforgettable accomplishments of Jews in every major sport known to the world. This book reveals how Jews conceived baseball's World Series, invented basketball's "zone defense", and elevated the T-Formation to football's state-of-the-art high scoring offense. And in "The International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame" you'll also discover Jewish athletes who achieved worldwide honors in fencing, figure skating, tennis, wrestling - and more. In addition, you'll learn that there have been no fewer than 29 boxing titles held by victorious Jewish fists. This comprehensive showcase of Jewish sports talent will enable you to answer questions such as: What rabbi's son pressed 200 lbs. above his bodyweight to be deemed world's strongest man in the 1964 Olympics? Which San Diego Chargers star was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1979 - only the second AFL player and sixth offensive lineman ever to be so honored? What cousins won six gymnastics gold medals in the same Olympic Games? In what sport is the perpetual championship trophy named for a Jewish mother? What Jewish wrestler won 400 consecutive bouts from 1939 to 1952? Which 14-year Major League catcher served as an American spy in World War II? Which Jewish NBA star retired with five all-time records, including most career points? The 1928 New York Giants purchased the entire Detroit Wolverines football team in order to acquire what triple-threat rookie quarterback? "The International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame" received its official charter in 1981 in Jerusalem. The Hall of Fame museum was inaugurated in July of the same year in ceremonies at the Wingate Institute in Netanya, Israel.

What Detroit sports fan wouldn't love a bar battle in book form? A tray of fiery wings, a frosty brew, and a stubborn friend have always been the appropriate recipe for an impassioned discourse on the pertinent questions that have furrowed eyebrows and itched nerves locally. Would the Bad Boys have beaten the ego-less 2004 championship Pistons? Despite his social imperfections, shouldn't Ty Cobb be the face of the Tigers' century-long history more so than Al Kaline? Who was the best number-twenty to ever play for the Lions? Yeah, yeah, Barry Sanders was a great runner, but did you ever see Lem Barney take over a game in different ways? Could Bo Schembechler have similar success in today´s college football environment? Who is the bigger bust of second overall draft selections - the Pistons' Darko Milicic or the Lions' Charles Rogers? Larry Brown or Chuck Daly? Mr. Hockey or The Captain? Why must there be a choice between the two? There is obviously no middle ground when it comes to Detroit sports and those who loyally throw their hearts into the various teams' ebbs and flows. It is no surprise that The Sporting News ranked Detroit as the third greatest sports city in the United States in the summer of 2005 - right behind Boston and Philadelphia. Devotion morphs into opinion, often crossing the border into belligerence. That's what makes Detroit sports so engaging. Itss also why Detroit Free Press columnist Drew Sharp and Detroit News feature writer and morning radio talk-show host Terry Foster take on the top Detroit sports debates of all time in this unique book. Sharp and Foster have lived their entire lives in the Detroit area. Both are award-winning journalists with a combined 46 years of Detroit newspaper, radio, and television experience. Both covered the Pistons' beat for their respective newspapers during the team's first two NBA championship seasons in 1989 and 1990. In Great Detroit Sports Debates they deliver a richly detailed exposition of the mindset of a fan base that lives vicariously through the exploits of their beloved players and teams. Sharp and Foster are the two most authoritative journalistic voices on the linkage between Detroit sports past and present. They know it because they've lived it.

When Sports Illustrated was launched in 1954, baseball was, indisputable, the national pastime, its stars America's epic heroes, its rivalries the era's mythology. As baseballs fortunes rose and fell over the next 50 years - and then rose again to new heights, drawing more than 65 million fans to ballparks in 2004 - the game never failed to produce great drama and inspired storytelling. This collection is a virtual Hall of Fame from the pages of SI, bringing together the stories of baseball's greatest heroes (Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Sandy Koufax) and villains (Ty Cobb, Pete Rose, Denny McLain) and characters (Casey Stengel, Max Patkin, Yogi Berra); its legendary quests (the home run chases of Roger Maris, Hank Aaron, Mark McGwire, and Barry Bonds; the thrilling pennant races, from the Dodgers - Giants in 1951 to the Yankees-Red Sox in 1978); its world-class writers (Frank Deford, Mark Kram, George Plimpton, Peter Gammons, and Tom Verducci) and its own players writing from the inside about their game (Ted Williams, Jim Brosnan, and Jim Bouton). In the wake of SI's acclaimed Fifty Years of Great Writing comes this baseball anthology worthy of Cooperstown.

Is there a cure for snook fever? “I’ve landed plenty of snook with a light bait-casting outfit. Don’t fish for snook any other way. You can cane pole ’em with heavy lines off piers and bridges, or troll for ’em. But I like to scrub the bushes and make ’em hit top-water plugs.” This was how Cal Stone introduced the author to light tackle fishing many decades ago in the waters of south Florida. Steer through twisted mangrove channels, dodge “noggin-knockers” and oyster bars on outgoing tides, and join author Max Hunn as he brawls with tarpon and tangles with snook and redfish, mostly in the Ten Thousand Islands country. “There is a fascination with the way things were in the tranquil years prior to Florida’s population explosion. Today, with the struggle to manage and maintain a viable fishery in the face of ever-increasing fishing pressure, this book is an enlightening and pleasant trip back in time.” — Capt. Mel Berman, host of the “Capt. Mel Berman Show” 970-WFLA Radio, Tampa Bay “Lest we forget, these great stories remind us of those halcyon days when snook abundantly outnumbered their fishermen, regulations generously reflected thriving populations, and the future of snook and snook fishing was never in doubt. Thank you, Max, for providing another waypoint by which we can measure our losses and help set our sights toward recovery of our favorite gamefish.” — Howard Wells, Executive Director of the Snook Foundation
