Double Yoi! von Myron Cope
I'm shocked this book is not owned by more people. Myron Cope was a local celebrity in the Pittburgh area. But his career included many national sports events. He wrote for Sports Illustrated interviewing many of the most well known sports figures at the beginning of their career, including Muhammad Ali and Howard Cosell. This book had numerous unexpected insights into the lives of these individuals. But that's not what drew me to the book. At its core, its about Myron Cope, the Pittsburgh area, and a story of how working hard got you places in America (I hope that's still true, but I'm not sure). I highly recommend this to any sports fan and certainly any Pittsburgh resident.… (mehr)

A great collection of anecdotes from a time when athletes where people and not corporations. Myron Cope was lucky enough to be able to interact with many sports stars of his day and share each of their personalities in a Cope-esque way. The humor of Myron shows in each story while remaining (what I assume to be) factual.
