Sports of the Times: The Arthur Daley years

Sports of the Times: The Arthur Daley years by Arthur Daley. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780812904642.

It is impossible that a man who wrote as long and as well as Arthur Daley did, could fail to reflect the turmoil of our recent history, including racial strife, war and political assassination, as well as the increasingly visible role sports have come to play on the American scene. Sports Of The Times extends far beyond the parameters of the playing field and includes a generous selection of the best of the thousands of columns Arthur Daley wrote. The list of athletes to whom Daley devoted the columns that appear here reads like a Whos Who of Sports: Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey, Willie Mays, Muhammed Ali, Ty Cobb, Jesse Owens, Whizzer White, Casey Stengel, Jim Thorpe, Honus Wagner, Bob Jones, Joe Louis, Byron Nelson, and many more.
