Download or read book The 100 Greatest American Athletes written by Martin Gitlin and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Babe Ruth to Michael Phelps, Billie Jean King to Tony Hawk, American athletes have been a source of pride and accomplishment throughout the nation’s history. While there have been plenty of athlete biographies, sports profiles, and behind-the scenes looks at various professional sports, no book has attempted to rank the greatest American athletes of all time. Until now. In The100 Greatest American Athletes, Martin Gitlin ranks the best of the best using a point system to assess each individual’s achievements, versatility, and athleticism, as well as the physical requirements of the sport or sports in which they participated. The final tally of these points provides the ranking for each athlete in the book, which is sure to spark lively conversation. Some of the most iconic names in sports history can be found here, including Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown, Larry Byrd, LeBron James, Mickey Mantle, Joe Montana, Jesse Owens, Mark Spitz, Tiger Woods, and Babe Didrikson Zaharias. It can be difficult to compare bobsledders to boxers, figure-skaters to football players, shot-putters to skiers. This book, however, attempts to do just that in an accurate, fair manner that honors those who made valuable contributions to American sports and culture. Sports fans will undoubtedly enjoy debating the ranking of these remarkable individuals, making The100 Greatest American Athletes a must read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1881 edition. Excerpt: ... in 142 hours, fifty-four minutes and thirty-eight seconds. Sir John Astley lost over 20,000 by Weston's defeat; but he did not blame Weston, but made him a present of a large purse of money for covering the number of miles he agreed to do in the stipulated time. O'Leary's unprecedented performance created a great sensation in England, and for once the English sporting press acknowledged that the United States were ahead at long-distance predestrianism. Soon after this performance O'Leary challenged all England to compete in a six days' walk for $10,000, but none of the doughty English champions accepted. With a bank-account of $50,000, and presents of diamonds, silver plate, etc., O'Leary returned to this country. On May 17, 18, and 19, 1877, William Vaughan, the hero of the 120 miles in twenty-four hours, attempted to walk 175 miles in thirty-two hours at Manchester, England, and again upset the fastest time on record. He walked 125 miles in twenty-four hours, thirty-six minutes and thirty seconds, and from every mile from 120 to 173 he made the best time on record. He walked 173 miles in thirty-eight hours, twentyeight minutes and thirteen seconds, and this performance to-dav is the best accomplished. Another mode of walking and endurance was introduced in England last year, which also created considerable interest, and the wonderful feat accomplished by Captain Allardice Barclay in England, in 1809, put in the shade after remaining on record without being beaten for sixty-eight years. William Gale, of Cardiff, had been credited with walking 1,000 quarter miles in 1000 quarter hours, and other such feats, which, by the way, have nothing to do with fast walking. In order to settle the question, a number of prominent sporting men...

Download or read book The Strenuous Life written by Ryan Swanson and published by Diversion Publishing Corp.. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It seemed as if Theodore Roosevelt’s biographers had closed the book on his life story. But Ryan Swanson has uncovered an untold chapter” (Johnny Smith, coauthor of Blood Brothers: The Fatal Friendship between Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X). Crippling asthma, a frail build, and grossly myopic eyesight: these were the ailments that plagued Teddy Roosevelt as a child. In adulthood, he was diagnosed with a potentially fatal heart condition and was told never to exert himself again. Roosevelt’s body was his weakness, the one hill he could never fully conquer—and as a result he developed what would become a lifelong obsession with athletics that he carried with him into his presidency. As President of the United States, Roosevelt boxed, practiced Ju-Jitsu, played tennis nearly every day, and frequently invited athletes and teams to the White House. It was during his administration that America saw baseball’s first ever World Series; interscholastic sports began; and schools began to place an emphasis on physical education. In addition, the NCAA formed, and the United States hosted the Olympic Games for the first time. From a prize-winning historian, this book shows how Roosevelt fought desperately (and sometimes successfully) to shape American athletics in accordance with his imperialistic view of the world. It reveals that, in one way or another, we can trace our fanaticism for fitness and sports directly back to the twenty-sixth president and his relentless pursuit of “The Strenuous Life.” “Essential reading for anyone who cares about the history of sports in America.” —Michael Kazin, author of War against War: The American Fight for Peace, 1914–1918

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this erudite and captivating book, author Larry Platt takes us on his own unique tour through American sports. Culled from a decade of writing about our games and the people who play them, Platt offers exclusive profiles of the athletes we love--and love to hate ... In these and other profiles, Platt shows that sport, more than any other nationwide pastime, is the way that we come to understand--and alter--race relations, gender, and, most profoundly, how we communicate with each other in ways often ignored by social commentators"--Inside front jacket cover

Download or read book African-American Athletes written by Nathan Aaseng and published by Infobase Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Americans have been participating in sports in the United States since the 19th century -- long before many whites accepted them in this context. Since World War II, they have become recognized as competitors in such diverse fields as baseball, boxing, football, track and field, gymnastics, tennis, and golf. The change from whites-only participation to black dominance in many sports did not come painlessly or without the remarkable perseverance of individual athletes. From the early years to the present day, an impressive array of blacks have achieved success as athletes. This book profiles more than 155 athletes. Each enlightening biographical entry concentrates on the events in that person's life related to his or her accomplishments as an athlete and includes a list of further reading on that person. An introduction, bibliography, subject indexes, general index, and 50 photographs round out the resource. Book jacket.
