Football's Best Short Stories

Twenty one of America's best-loved writers tackle the sport of football in this lively anthology of short stories that cover a century of punts, passes, defeats, and victories. Fathers and sons, coaches and quarter-backs collide; surprising heroes and equally surprising failure emerge from the blitz of play in these dramatic tales. For fans and everyone who knows a fan; for all who have tossed a football across a back garden and dreamed it was a playing field ablaze under the lights, Football's Best Short Stories brings the thrill of the game home no matter what the hour or the season.
