He played the sportswriting game well,
By Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" (Jerusalem,Israel) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Base-Ball Ballads: Grantland Rice (The Mcfarland Historical Baseball Library) (Paperback)
As a child one treat of mine was reading Grantland Rice's sport columns. One of the first poems I ever wrote was about him. I think I was about eight . It was modeled on his verse. "Among the tumult and the shouting , a joyous cry arose, it rose above all others, with their joys and their woes/ a man of strength and courage/ a heart of gold was his/ wherever there is baseball/ Grandtland Rice's name will live./I recommend reading these poems and in feeling the spirit of another time in America, a time of youthful hope and a certain innocence which the world has largely lost. |
