Description:
New York: Fawcett, 1976. Mass Market Paperback. Good. 6x4x1. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. spine creasing, edge wear; James A. Michenerâs explosive, spectacular Sports in America is a prescient examination of the crisis in American sports that is still unfolding to this day. Pro basketball players are banned for narcotics use, while a Major League pitcher is arrested for smuggling drugs across the Mexican border. The NFLâs âinjury reportâ grows longer every Sunday. Corruption and recruiting violations plague collegiate sports as the âwinning is everythingâ mentality trickles down to the Little League level. With his lifelong enthusiasm for sports in evidence, the incomparable Michener tackles this subject thoroughly and leaves us amazed and appalled by what weâve learned, yet still loving the games we grew up on.

Fawcett Books, 1976. First edition. 1st Fawcett Crest printing.. Mass-market paperback. Very good. No dust jacket as issued. Minor spine creasing. Clean.. 1 576p. Black covers; red, white titles. Blue star. Index. More than 30 years ago, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and chronicler Michener turned his research skills and passion to the state of American sports from Little League to the Olympics to the pros. In this non-fiction analysis, themes are much the same today: superstar salaries, discrimination against women, scandalous recruitment programs at the university level. How have sports changed?
