Participatory sportswriting

"Long before George Plimpton donned shoulder pads for Paper Lion, sportswriters were stepping onto the field. This anthology collects 38 essays from the Gilded and Golden Age greats. Charles Dickens, Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, and more prowled sporting grounds in a time when, as Grantland Rice put it, "a flame...lit up the sporting skies and covered the world.""--Provided by publisher.
