Life From The Press Box: Recollections of a sportswriter...

By Jim Street

Book Overview

As in any job, a sportswriter has his or her share of good days and bad days. Most sports fans would love to be a sportswriter, but only a few actually get that opportunity and there is a lot more to the job than watching games and writing about them. "Life From the Press Box" is one person's view of the newspaper and Internet industries, the stories behind the scores and a glimpse into the people in the box scores. It's goal is to put a face on other writers, managers, coaches and players that spend anywhere from one to more than 20 years doing what they do best - playing or writing about professional sports and the athletes. "Life From the Press Box" is a behind-the-scenes look at a 40-year sports writing career that included daily coverage of the Oakland Athletics, San Francisco Giants, Oakland Raiders and Seattle Mariners.
