paperback. Condition: Fair.
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. With Richard Ben Cramer at the helm, this book's selections embrace the world of sports in all its drama, from swimming the Arctic Ocean to high school football. Journalists shed light on Mia Hamm, Amare Stoudemire, and on sports' underbelly as a professional baseball team scalps its own tickets and as women single-mindedly pursue million-dollar athletes. We witness the World Taxidermy Championships, the final days of the Michael Jordan Wizards, and more.
