"The profoundly moving story of four great baseball players who have made the passage from sports icons--when they were young and seemingly indestructible--to men dealing with the vulnerabilities of growing older.

Nice Collectible 1st Edition 1st Printing hardcover in Dust Jacket.

"In The Worst Call Ever," keepers of truth and enlightenment, sportswriters Kyle Garlett and Patrick O'Neal, expose the most injurious mistakes and desecrations, document their lasting damage—which to some wronged parties has evolved into a condition akin to post-traumatic stress disorder—and hopefully become the soothing balm of reconciliation. Each piece details the play in question and examines the players and stakes involved, the scope of the injustice, and the path of change that was often its result. Garlett and O'Neal cover mishaps in all sports, from the four Major Leagues to golf and auto racing to even curling, in this fascinating look at the worst calls in sports history."

Illustrated with photos. Internally tight & unmarked. Binding Exterior: lettering/decoration bright. NO REMAINDER MARK; NOT X-LIBRARY. SELDOM PRESENT $24.95 unclipped DJ.

"This collection of essays by a stellar roster of sports journalists, champion athletes, and celebrated writers.

Sportswriting legend Dan Shaughnessy celebrates his daughters' eye-opening softball exploits. Chris Evert recounts how her tennis coach father, Jimmy, taught her coolness under fire. Bill Simmons proudly bequeaths his love of the NBA to his preschool-aged daughter. Doris Kearns Goodwin explains how the not-so-simple act of filling in a scorecard for a father can be an act of love. Mike Veck, minor-league team owner (and son of baseball’s great impresario, Bill Veck), writes about the terrifying disease that blinded his daughter, Rebecca, and how they learned from his own father's example in dealing with disability."
