5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Sports History,
By David Francis (West Hartford, CT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sportswriter: The Life and Times of Grantland Rice (Hardcover)
Under an ink laden sky filled with the whites of...I read this classic. For true sports fans and fans of sports history, this is a must read. A bit fluffy, but incredibally nostalgic reading. Makes one wish they were there to read his work on an every day basis. Where is the poetry and visual writing in the columns of today? With no TV and early radio, Rice helped romantisize sports in it's heyday. No wonder they were such myths/legends.

Ten stars,
By David Bridgforth (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sportswriter: The Life and Times of Grantland Rice (Hardcover)
I have no idea how this book didn't receive more attention because, this is absolutely one of the best sports related books ever written. The quotes of Mr.Rice are still alive more than 50 years after he wrote them. "When the One Great Scorer comes to write against your name, he marks not that you won or lost, buy how you played the game."
