This collection marks the return to print of John Lardner, one of America's press box giants, a classic stylist whose wry humor and tireless reporting helped elevate sportswriting to art. The brilliant W. C. Heinz called Lardner "the best of us." This book shows why.

These forty-nine pieces represent sportswriting at the top of its game. Purchase the audio edition.
