Arguably the most successful sports writer in journalism, Jim Murray was a once-in-a-generation literary talent who just happened to ply his trade on newsprint. In this new book, Ted Geltner chronicles Jim Murray's experiences with twentieth-century American sports, culture, and journalism. Murray's accolades include being named Sportswriter of the Year an astounding fourteen times, and his legacy was cemented when he became one of only four writers to receive the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for coverage of sports. Geltner now gives readers a first look at Murray's personal archives and dozens of fresh interviews with sports and journalism personalities, including Arnold Palmer, Mario Andretti, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Yogi Berra, Frank Deford, Rick Reilly, Dan Jenkins, Roy Firestone, and many more.
