Book Synopsis The Sports 100 by : Bert Randolph Sugar
Download or read book The Sports 100 written by Bert Randolph Sugar and published by Citadel Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Called the Guru of Sports, Burt Randolph Sugar has covered the sports scene for more than three decades, both in print and on television. In this book Sugar has attempted what no sportswriter has ever dared to do: He has selected those athletes whom he considers the best who ever played throughout the history of sports. Whether it's baseball, football, track and field, or any other sport, Sugar not only selects the greatest athletes, but ranks them according to their achievements. Over the years, the world of sports has served up countless legendary figures -- male and female. While readers may quarrel over his rankings: Babe Ruth (5), Joe Louis (58), Ben Hogan (29), Martina Navratilova (38), Larry Bird (48), and others, they will surely appreciate the incisive "Sugar-style" profiles of those heroes. The Sports 100 is a benchmark of those considered "great". It will find its way into every bar argument and is the perfect addition to any sport fan's library.

With numerous critical case studies, never-before assembled data, and personal interviews with athletes, this volume offers insights that both investigate and celebrate female Olympians’ successes.
