PROLIFICALLY ILLUSTRATED with black-and-white portrait photographs. "While not a "picture book" in the traditional sense, 'This Day in New York Sports' is a bit of a family photo album. It is the album of the family of New York sports over more than 150 years as expressed by a series of daily entries on each day of the year. Within this book you'll find famous members of the family: Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Muhammad Ali, Derek Jeter, JoeNamath, Bill Bradley, Chris Evert, Patrick Ewing, Willie Mays, Mark Messier, John EcEnroe, Bill Tilden, Bill Parcells, Gertrude Ederle, Jesse Owens, JoeLouis, Grete Waltz, DenisPotvin, Willis Reed, Eddie Arcaro, Jack Dempsey, Jackie Robinson, Nat Holman, Pele, Red Grange, Jack Nicklaus, Ken Strong, Carol Blazejowski, Billy Haughton, Willie Mosconi, and hundreds of others in dozens of sports. You'll also find lots of folks you haven't heard of (although perhaps some of them ought to be better known). Then there are the events that are a big part of New York area sports today-the U.S. Open, Belmont Stakes, New York City Marathon-and those that were once upon a time and aren't anymore-six-day bike races, neighborhood club fights, swimming meets. They're all here. The homes of these events, past and present-Yankee Stadium, the four Madison Square Gardens, Ebbets Field, the Polo Grounds, Sunnyside Gardens, Yale Bowl, the Newark Velodrome=they're all here as well." 398 pages. *NOTE: Due to size and weight of book significant additional shipping will be required for out-of-U.S. shipment in accordance with destination.
