Fathers & Sons & Sports
by Lupica, Mike
For generations, fathers and sons have used the language of sports to work out their differences and express their love for each other. Fathers & Sons & Sports presents a powerful lineup of real-world stories about fathers and sons playing one-on-one in the game of life, written by such great sportswriters and authors asHenry Aaron, as told to Cal Fussman - Michael J. Agovino - Buzz Bissinger - Jeff Bradley - John Ed Bradley - James Brown - Darcy Frey - Tom Friend - Bill Geist - Mike Golic - Donald Hall - Paul Hoffman - Mark Kriegel - Norman Maclean - John Buffalo Mailer - Ron Reagan - Peter Richmond - Jeremy Schaap - Lew Schneider - Dan Shaughnessy - Paul Solotaroff - John Jeremiah Sullivan - Wright Thompson - Steve WulfThe unforgettable accounts here include the stories of a professional football player passing on his father's secrets to his own sons, a severely disabled boy discovering joy on a surfboard, a wealthy NFL player taking his coddled children back to the mean streets that made him, and a major league manager who must face the hard fact that nothing, not even unconditional love, can save his son. Anyone who has ever been a father or a son will see himself in these moving snapshots of family life at its most emotional. Whether the stories take place on a diamond, a court, a gridiron, a fairway, or a chessboard, they're all about the same subject: fatherhood, one of the world's most intriguing sports.From the Trade Paperback edition.
