No edition stated. "The theme is simple: in the world of professional sports there are occassions when an athlete appears on the scene who so thoroughly dominates his or her chosen sport that that sport is transformed by their presence. For example, most fans wouuld agree that baseball was a certain sport before the arrival of Babe Ruth, and a very different one after he played the game. The same can be said of each of the athletes in this book." 34 essays: Muhammad Ali, Lance Armstrong, Bjorn Borg, Jim Brown, Babe Didrikson, Julius Erving, Wayne Gretzky, Mia Hamm, Michael Jordan, Sandy Koufax, Nancy Lopez, Maradona, Rocky Marciano, Helen Wills Moody, Joe Namath, Martina Navratilova, Jack Nicklaus, Bobby Orr, Pele, Richard Petty, Jacques Plante, Jerry Rice, Jackie Robinson, Patrick Roy, Bill Russell, Babe Ruth, Pete Sampras, Michael Schumacher, Secretariat, Annika Sorenstam, Lawrence Taylor, Serena Williams, Tiger Woods, and Cy Young. Each essay enhanced with a full-page black & white or full-color photographic illustration and brief biographical chronicle of the featured athlete. 151 pages. Save for a minor bump at top of DJ spine, a fine copy! A SPORTS ENTHUSIAST/COLLECTOR GEM! FRB2.…
