520			_aSpanning nearly a century, The Great American Sports Page presents essential columns from more than three dozen masters of the press-box craft, unforgettable dispatches from World Series, Super Bowls, and legendary title bouts written with passion, spontaneity, humor, and a gift for the memorable phrase. Read avidly day in and day out by a sports-mad public, these columnists became journalistic celebrities in their home cities, their coverage trusted and savored, their opinions hotly debated. Gathered in this anthology, writers from Grantland Rice and Jim Murray to Bob Ryan and Sally Jenkins capture some of sports' most enduring moments and many of its all-time greats-Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, and Michael Jordan among them-taking the measure of the human richness, complexity, and competitive spirit of sports-- _cadapted from publisher's description.
