Everything They Had: Sports Writing From David Halberstam
Edited and with an Introduction by Glenn Stout
Hyperion, 401 pages, $24.95
For those who prefer sports writing about sports — and there are quite a few of us — this is the book. It is about how sports reflect the world. As one of the many so saddened by David Halberstam’s tragic death, I came to his work through his books on politics and power like “The Best and the Brightest.” This collection, spanning five decades, captures his spirit and the full scope of his passions — from horse racing in Warsaw to the world of women’s ice hockey — and profiles ranging from Pat Riley to Dick Schaap.
