From School Library Journal:
YA-- Vecsey has chronicled a year of writing about sports in diary format. His assignments vary from basketball, football, and baseball, to covering the World Cup of Soccer and the Goodwill Games in Moscow. Any sports fan will enjoy the close personal insight and contact with so many familiar people and places. Vecsey takes readers into the locker rooms, on the road, and behind the scenes into the press areas. Students considering a writing career will come to feel the thrill, challenge, and difficulties a journalist encounters in meeting deadlines, being creative, and just coming up with the daily column. With its twofold appeal that combines sports and journalism, the book will make students feel like they've had a press pass for a year.

New York Times columnist and co-author of books by Martina Navratilova, Loretta Lynn, and others covers in diary form his 1986 sports beat, running from the January Super Bowl through boxing matches, baseball games, soccer's World Cup, and other contests to Dwight Gooden's arrest in December. Throughout the narrative he weaves in poignant family memories and candid thoughts on sports figures and newspaper writers. His likes include soccer, newspaperwomen, Red Smith, and boxers; his dislikes are boxing, gambling, football, Steinbrenner, and Bobby Knight. This warmly appealing picture of a sportswriter's life is heartily recommended.
