stephybara 's review for:
The Best American Sports Writing 2009
by Glenn Stout, Leigh Montville
An excellent collection of articles about all kinds of sports; this series will definitely become a staple of my reading each year. I particularly liked the articles about Charlie Manual, Jack Nicklaus, and Cuban ballplayers. (The history of the medicine ball was interesting, too.)
(I see some other readers/reviewers found this a bad collection; I understand their point about a couple of the articles not really being about "sports", but I did find myself interested in pretty much every piece in the book.)
