Book Description

Series: Judaica Sports Collectibles Library | Publication Date: November 2007

When you think of famous Jews, sports may not be the first thing that comes to mind. But from Sandy Koufax to Mark Spitz, Jews have made tremendous contributions to the history of sports. The Horvitz's have created a logical ranking system that uses hard statistical evidence to identify the 100 greatest Jewish athletes of all time. Drawing on their academic backgrounds and expert sports knowledge, the authors bring us a proven scientific framework for objectively comparing athletes across various sports, including: Football, Baseball, Boxing, Tennis, Golf, plus many others! Features include: little-known interviews with sports heroes of the past and present; nearly 200 rare photographs throughout; and fascinating anecdotes that bring your favorite athletes to life.
