5.0 out of 5 stars Not your common sports book, October 23, 2001
By Brian Estep (Groton, CT USA) - See all my reviews
My Pittsburgh sports library contains many titles with none as diverse and enjoyable as this book. The authors of each essay bring something unique to the table. You may not respond equally to all of the essays, but if you are a Pittsburgh sports fan, I challenge you not to be moved by at least one.
