What is The Best American Sports Writing 2004 (The Best American Series (TM)) about?
Since its inception in 1915, the Best American series has become the premier annual showcase for the countrys finest short fiction and nonfiction. For each volume, a series editor reads pieces from hundreds of periodicals, then selects between fifty and a hundred outstanding works. That selection is pared down to twenty or so very best pieces by a guest editor who is widely recognized as a leading writer in his or her field. This unique system has helped make the Best American series the most respected and most popular of its kind. Cracker-jack writing from some of the countrys best-known sports journalists. Publishers Weekly With Richard Ben Cramer at the helm, this years selections embrace the world of sports in all its drama, humanity, and excitement, from swimming the Arctic Ocean to high school football. Todays foremost journalists shed light on Mia Hamm, Amare Stoudemire, and on sports underbelly as a professional baseball team scalps its own tickets and as women single-mindedly pursue million-dollar athletes. We witness the World Taxidermy Championships, the final days of the Michael Jordan Wizards, and much more.
