Don rated it: 4 of 5 stars
Another fine collection, this one focusing more on the (for lack of a better world) hidden world of sports than other collections that I've read. The essay on diving the Andrea Doria is fantastic, as are the last several essays in the volume (one on "enforcers" in hockey, another on the inanity of sports writing and a surprisingly entertaining piece on fishing). Well worth picking up.
