The myths that surround him are legion, and yet these legends have grown and developed in spite of Pancho, for there are few contemporary athletes who shun publicity as actively as he does. In Man With A Racket Gonzales reveals the facts behind the legends and the result is a story remarkable for its candor and honesty.".
