Description:

Now, as we near the end of this century, Joe Falls has been a part of baseball for 50 years. His book, "Joe Falls: 50 Years of Sports Writing" recounts his love of baseball as a youth; his breaks as a rookie in the sports writing business from his job with The Associated Press in New York to "The Detroit News; " and his encounters with memorable sports personalities such as Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Jack Nicklaus, Walter Hagen, Gordie Howe, Michael Jordan, and, possibly his favorite, Secretariat. It also reveals his experiences of covering sports in various parts of the world, including seven Olympics, Wimbledon, the British Open and the Goodwill Games in Moscow.
