Download Sometimes They Even Shook Your Hand: Portraits of Champions Who Walked among Us AudioBook Free
John Schulian, a much-honored sportswriter for nearly forty years, requires us back again to a period when our biggest athletes stood before us as human beings, not distant gods. In this particular persuasive collection, Schulian paints prose portraits to remind supporters of what today's cloistered actors won't share with them. Here, Willie Mays remembers how to smile in dreaded retirement life; Muhammad Ali muses in regards to a world that was once his. For each point in time of triumph - Joe Montana in the Super Bowl, Marvelous Marvin Hagler over Thomas Hearns - there exists another filled up with the heartache that Pete Maravich experienced when he hung up his golf ball shoes. The result can be an audiobook guaranteed to stir memory for the generation that was - and also to leave subsequent years wishing they had it so excellent.
