"What a way to spend an autumn afternoon." - Chris Schenkel, former ABC Sports announcer. "On a cool November day in 1869, a group of young men from Rutgers and Princeton gathered on the Commons of Rutgers University for a game they called football. There were no uniforms or referees, no fans stacked to the sky inside concrete stadiums, no scoreboard, mascots or cheerleaders. A coin flip and a kicking tee would be the only remnants of that day in a game that more than 130 years later routinely transforms college towns into mid-sized cities every Saturday from September to December. ABC Sports played an essential role in that transformation when it became the first network to broadcast a full schedule of regular-season games in 1966. Suddenly, a regional phenomenon in towns like Tuscaloosa, Athens, Boulder, Ann Arbor and Palo Alto became part of the larger cultural experience. College football players became as well-known as their professional brethren, and schools such as Alabama, Texas and USC as famous as the Colts, Bears, Packers and Giants. [The book] details the game's evolution in a lavish presentation highlighting the greatest players of the last 33 years, as witnessed and chronicled by more than 25 ABC Sports broadcasters and announcers. From Chris Schenkel, who did his first ABC Sports college football broadcast in 1964, to Keith Jackson, who has become the voice of the game in his more than 30 years, ABC's panel of experts is among the most insightful groups to select an All-America team simply because they were there. With more than 100 photographs, [the book] takes readers on a trip through two centuries in a richly designed combination of words, images and graphics. The book covers the evolution of the college game from its awkward beginnings in the late 1860s and follows its gradual refinement over the decades against the backdrop of an America coming of age through war, depression and, finally, prosperity. In the book's Foreword, Keith Jackson, who grew up in an era "when college football was king!", explains the nature of the game, its impact on fans and players and the role ABC Sports has played in college football's growth. "There is more involved with this game than just money", says Jackson. "There is the vitality of regeneration every time people of all ages return to the campus for the weekly festival. It's continuity, pride, a sense of belonging. It's roots. And ABC Sports has done considerable work on this game that reaches into every crevice of our society." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. …

Profusely illustrated with color photogaphs. "On September 6, 1995, the major league pageant was glorified by Cal Ripken. Playing in his 2,131st consecutive game, he surpassed Lou Gehrig's most hallowed of all baseball records, the one no one believed ever would be broken. At age 35, the longtime star shortstop of the Baltimore Orioles accepted a nation's admiration and love with the grace and humility that has characterized his long career. "Ripken's streak" commenced in his first full season of major league action; and the sports world watched with growing wonder at Cal played every game, year after year, redeeming an American ideal - that of the reliable working man who shows up on time, scorning sick days and frequently ignoring injuries that would have disabled his colleagues. This feat of extraordinary durability marks the pinnacle of a still-evolving, truly remarkable career. Calvin Edwin Ripken Jr. was voted American League Rookie of the Year in 1982, and in the following year was named the league's Most Valuable Player - an award he received again in 1991. Named to his league's All-Star team twelve times, he has been a consistent offensive force, ammassing more career home runs than any other shortstop, and he has fielded his position with captivating skill. In one season (1990) he played every inning and committed only three errors, attaining the highest fielding percentage (.996) of any shorstop in any year. He was born to play baseball. His father, Cal Ripken Sr., a respected coach and manager at both the minor and major league levels, tutored his sons in the art of the game; and for six years Cal Jr. and younger brother Billy - a gifted second baseman - were the Orioles' agile partners on the double play. The statistical achievements of Cal Ripken are one legend still in the making. How this Maryland lad grew into a star performer and spiritual inspiration for his teammates and opponents also is the stuff of legend. Here is the Cal Ripken story in pictures and in his own words, modest but forthright like the man himself." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
