From the rear cover
Today, most long-form journalism is passed over in favor of catchy numbered lists, leaving only the truly exceptional. That s what best-selling author Christopher McDougall has collected here, in the twenty-fourth edition of the renowned anthology The Best American Sports Writing. This year s compilation celebrates wonderfully diverse facets of the world of sports: Don Van Natta Jr. s discovery of Bobby Riggs s love for Billie Jean King, Bucky McMahon s exploration of the uneasy relationship between surfers and sharks on Reunion, and Amanda Hess s light-touch homage to the sports bra. These varied pieces allow the reader to see beyond the final scores to the people who give meaning to the game.
The Best American Sports Writing 2014 includes
Don Van Natta Jr., Ian Frazier, Amanda Hess, Ben McGrath,
Nick Paumgarten, Charles P. Pierce, Eli Saslow,
Patrick Hruby, Mary Pilon, and others
