I've Always Been a Fan of Greatness

It doesn't matter if it's sports,business,the arts,writers,performers,or politicians, I've always been a fan of greatness. What makes them so special, so universal, always viewed as the "Best." Bill Lyon is the best. So say scores of writers, commentators, and readers. Pick up the book and read his articles on every big event in the sports world. I gave my friend Bill's book as a gift. He wrote to me that he planned to read a few pages each night. He couldn't put it down and finished in in 24 hours. As the commerical used to say..."Try it, you'll like it!!!!"
