Paperback. Condition: Good. Quite simply the most thorough collection ever of the master's work . . . a joy to everyone who picks it up.--John Schulian, The Chicago Sun-Times Awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1976, Walter Wellesley Red Smith is considered one of the greatest sportswriters ever to live. Put alongside Ring Lardner, Red Smith was beloved by those who read him because of his crisp writing and critical views.
