A narrative of American sport: character, grit, tragedy, unremarked heroism, and, always, the story behind the story.
What The Reviewers Say
Sometimes, a book comes along that hits the reader’s sweet spot – a book that you enjoy from beginning to end, and are a little sorry that it has ended. For me, at least, Gods at Play by Tom Callahan was such a book.
Mr. Callahan offers up memorable moments and great-athlete portraits as he looks back on a life of sportswriting.
You’re almost guaranteed to learn something new about many sports legends.
The stories range from telling long-held secrets to Callahan’s recollections of time spent with these athletes. Some are quite touching.
