Publisher's Note
The Puritans in New England regard sports as the Devil's pastime, but today in America they are a national obsession. Through in-depth profiles of more than 100 historic and contemporary male and female athletes, discover how sports became not only our favorite topic but a lucrative meagabusiness. Individual athletes' profiles range from the stars to lesser known role models. Careers of inspirational athletes who succeeded despite difficult circumstances and handicaps, like disease and prejudice, are highlighted. The books is also divided into significant timeframes with historical overviews that place the sports and athletes into the larger view of our country at the time.
This volume explores the fascinating history of American sports, from its reputation as the "Devil's pastime" in Puritan New England to the celebrity-filled big business that it is today. The outstanding records and influences of major sports superstars, as well as less famous athletes, are discussed. 300+ illustrations.
