About This Item
Used book may have markings, writing from the previous owner. Some bumping, rubbing, creasing on the top, spine, edges, corners. Outer page edges with tanning, browning, stains and foxing. It's about the cynicism of American sports, the dump, the fix, the thrown game, the shaved points, the cross and double cross and the "I've got min, bub." It's about the newspapers and the newspapermen who shill for sports. It's about television, the conscienceless and ruthless partner of sports. It's about the spoiled heroes of sports, shiny on the outside, decaying with meanness underneath. 1970. B1.
