Woolf Bob Herkowitz Mickey (1 results)

Hardcover. xx, 300 p. Illustrated. Introduction by Roger Kahn. From an 1993 obituary posted on line: "Bob Woolf, the pioneering Boston-based sports lawyer who used what he called friendly persuasion to negotiate headline contracts for some of the nation's most famous athletes and entertainers, died.He was 65. Partly because he was one of the first sports agents, and partly because he brought to the profession both skill and a special sense of ethical responsibility, Mr. Woolf was one of the best known of his breed. If he never became quite as famous as the athletes and entertainers he represented, it was only because his client list tended to read like a catalogue of household names, among them Carl Yastrzemski, Larry Bird, Doug Flutie, Bernard King, John Havlicek, Ken Harrelson, Jim Plunkett, Julius Erving, Thurman Munson, Mark Fidrych, Jim Craig, Derek Sanderson, Robert Parish, Rocket Ismail, Ruben Sierra, Larry King and the New Kids on the Block."
