“The list of writers who deserve to move from newsprint on your doorstep to clothbound acid-free paper is short, but few would argue with the choice of Red Smith. . . . His work has been collected between hardcovers previously, but never as comprehensively as in this Library of America edition. . . . A browsing reader will find a diverting or distinctive phrase on every page, but one who devours it from beginning to end will also get a sweeping history of six decades of 20th-century sports.”—The New York Times Book Review
