From the mid-1980s into the early 1990s, the greatest athlete of all time streaked across American sports and popular culture. Stadiums struggled to contain him. Clocks failed to capture his speed. His strength was legendary. His power unmatched. Video game makers turned him into an invincible character—and they were dead-on. He climbed (and walked across) walls, splintered baseball bats over his knee, turned oncoming tacklers into ground meat.

Few names in the history of baseball evoke the excellence and dynamism that Rickey Henderson’s does. He holds the record for the most stolen bases in a single game, and he’s scored more runs than any player ever. “If you cut Rickey Henderson in half, you’d have two Hall of Famers,” the baseball historian Bill James once said. But perhaps even more than his prowess on the field, Rickey Henderson’s is a story of Oakland, California, the town that gave rise to so many legendary athletes like him.

The Boxing Kings tells the story of the heavyweight title in the days when it was a defining institution in the United States. Author Paul Beston places special emphasis on those champions who held a central place in American culture beyond just in the boxing ring, including John L. Sullivan, who made the title a commercial property; Jack Johnson, who in 1908 became the first black man to claim the title; Joe Louis, whose contributions to racial tolerance and social progress transcended even his greatness in the ring; and many more.

When Norm Macdonald, one of the greatest stand-up comics of all time, was approached to write a celebrity memoir, he flatly refused, calling the genre “one step below instruction manuals.” Norm then promptly took a two-year hiatus from stand-up comedy to live on a farm in northern Canada. When he emerged he had under his arm a manuscript, a genre-smashing book about comedy, tragedy, love, loss, war, and redemption. When asked if this was the celebrity memoir, Norm replied, “Call it anything you damn like.”

From Andre Agassi, one of the most beloved athletes in history and one of the most gifted men ever to step onto a tennis court, a beautiful, haunting autobiography. Agassi brings a near-photographic memory to every pivotal match and every relationship. Never before has the inner game of tennis and the outer game of fame been so precisely limned. In clear, taut prose, Agassi evokes his loyal brother, his wise coach, his gentle trainer, all the people who help him regain his balance and find love at last with Stefanie Graf.

No matter where nature has placed him - the club rooms of Brooklyn, the Mafia dives of New York's Lower East Side, the wilds of Alaska, or the hills of Hollywood - he has found a way to put on a show and sell tickets at the door.

Most of us think of bowling as a "sport" in quotation marks, and bowling alleys are places with disco balls, matching shirts, and funny shoes. But in the 1960s, New York City was the center of "action bowling", a form of high-stakes gambling in which bowlers - often teenagers - faced off for thousands of dollars every night. When money like that is changing hands, you can bet the pressure is on (and the balls are rigged), and losses come with dire consequences.

Gianni Russo was a handsome 25-year-old mobster with no acting experience when he walked onto the set of The Godfather and entered Hollywood history. He played Carlo Rizzi, and he didn't have to act - he knew the mob inside and out: from his childhood in Little Italy, where Mafia legend Frank Costello took him under his wing, to having to go on the lam after shooting and killing a member of the Colombian drug cartel in his Vegas club. Along the way, Russo befriended Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando. Russo had passionate affairs with Marilyn Monroe and Liza Minelli....

In his own words, the heavyweight champion of the world pulls no punches as he chronicles the battles he faced in and out of the ring in this fascinating memoir edited by Nobel Prize-winning novelist, Toni Morrison. Growing up in the South, surrounded by racial bigotry and discrimination, Ali fought not just for a living, but also for respect and rewards far more precious than money or glory. He was named Sportsman of the Century by Sports Illustrated and the BBC.

In the early 1980s, Ray Mancini was more than the lightweight champ. He was a national hero. Sinatra fawned over him. Warren Zevon wrote a tribute song. Sylvester Stallone produced his life story as a movie of the week. After all, an adoring public considered Boom Boom the real Rocky. But it all came apart in a brutal 1982 battle against an obscure Korean challenger....

Nothing about boxing
I started boxing a while ago. I wanted inspiration and a way to connect to a time honored sport. I not only want to train my muscles but also my mind. Which I must ask...who wrote this book?
It's nothing but name drops. "This guy and that guy and this guy met that guy and that guy looked over at this guy and stuff happened." Who cares?
I made about 35 minutes into the book and had to stop to go chew grass in the front yard because I was severely vitamin deficient from this mess.
Here's another one that was repeated ad infinitum: "Cassius Clay! Muhammad Ali! Cassius Clay! Muhammad Ali! Cassius Clay! Muhammad Ali! Cassius Clay! Muhammad Ali! Cassius Clay! Muhammad Ali! Cassius Clay! Muhammad Ali! Cassius Clay! Muhammad Ali! Cassius Clay! Muhammad Ali! Cassius Clay! Muhammad Ali! Cassius Clay! Muhammad Ali! Cassius Clay! Muhammad Ali! Cassius Clay! Muhammad Ali! Cassius Clay! Muhammad Ali! Cassius Clay! Muhammad Ali! Cassius Clay! Muhammad Ali! Cassius Clay! Muhammad Ali! Cassius Clay! Muhammad Ali! Cassius Clay! Muhammad Ali!"
YES I GET IT!!! THE MAN WAS THE GREATEST!!
WWHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
HHOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!??!?!?!
Just because the guy's famous doesn't mean information about him floods into my house and drowns me in knowledge. SHUT UP AND TELL ME!!!
This book sucks. Gimme my credit back.
