Full Description
Have you ever gotten into an argument with someone about exactly how
many National Basketball Association teams the great Larry Brown took
to the playoffs?
Would you know the answer if someone asked whether Daniel Mendoza was a
flamenco dancer or the world’s first Jewish boxing champion?
Do you know which major league venue was the first to offer kosher
food?
If you’ve ever wondered about Jews in sports—and who hasn’t—this is the
book for you. And it’s not just Mark Spitz, Sandy Koufax, and Hank
Greenberg. Covering every day of the year to include thousands of
names, records, events, and achievements of all kinds, from virtually
every sport you can think of and some you can’t, this book is the
definitive picture of the role Jews have played in world
sports—informative, enlightening, easy to read, and entertaining in a
432-page calendar book format.
You’ll never wonder again. It gives you all the basic information and
statistics, from baseball to figure skating, from boxing to track and
field, from hockey to bowling, tennis, gymnastics, soccer, Olympic
winners including 160 sports quiz questions and sports you never heard
of, American and international, amateur and professional.
Day by Day in Jewish Sports History, by sportswriter Bob Wechsler,
tells it all. It’s a fascinating book. You’ll never regret reading and
owning this book. .
