Synopsis: For more than 40 years, Jim Murray has been one of America's most celebrated sportswriters. Now, at the age of 73, Murray shares the story of his life in this book. From his early days as a "Time" magazine Hollywood reporter, covering such stars as Marilyn Monroe and John Wayne, to his stint following the 1952 presidential campaign and interacting with Richard Nixon, his tenure as sportswriter for "Sports Illustrated", and ultimately, to his position as the featured sports columnist for "The Los Angeles Times", Murray tells captivating stories about the people and personalities who have touched his life, including Muhammad Ali, Pete Rose, Magic Johnson, Ben Hogan, Jack Kent Cooke and Al Davis. In addition, Murray writes about the private side of his life: his youth, his ambitions, his triumphs, and the personal trials he has coped with - the loss of his wife and son, and his ongoing fight to retain his eyesight.
