4.0 out of 5 stars Press Box: Red Smith's Favorite Sports Stories, September 23, 2009

This review is from: Press Box: Red Smith's Favorite Sports Stories (Paperback)
Remarkable collection of sports writing. Smith doesn't claim, as some do, that the writing on the Sports page is the best in journalism, not does he favor another cliche - that only sportswriters can write good sports stories.

Case in point: a beautiful story for the New Yorker penned by John Updike, who never wrote about baseball again. Remarkable insight into Ted Williams and his last game at Fenway Park. A recent Ivy League grad, Updike hit it on the button like a sharp line drive.

A fun read. Easy to pick up and then put down for later.
