Sinossi
Jim Murray, the dean of American sportswriters, entertained readers with writing that is so good and so funny that even people who don&;t like sports read him. The Jim Murray Reader gathers some of Murray&;s best columns from the height of his career and showcases the wit and the style that won him a Pulitzer Prize in 1990.
 
 
His inexhaustible talent and limitless range are on full display here: from the perplexities of tennis scoring (&;a game in which love counts for nothing, deuces are wild, and the scoring system was invented by Lewis Carroll&;) and baseball rules (&;The infield fly rule is about as simple as calligraphy. It might as well be a Japanese naval code&;) to Murray&;s Laws (&;The way to make a line move faster is to join the other one&;) and many of his colorful profiles (&;Richard Petty has climbed in more windows than 50 car thieves. . . . He wasn&;t born, he was assembled and modified&;).
 
His striking images, evocative prose, and hyperbolic one-liners have made Murray one of the most quotable and most celebrated sports columnists of the twentieth century.
