Publisher's Note A warm, funny, thoughtful and inspirational book that examines men's love of sports and obsession with its past glories.
Glory Days is a book for the men who still tell tales of their high school prowess, play weekend sports with diehard abandon, and passionately root for the athletes who have made it big. It is also a book for the women who wonder why so many men can't talk about anything else. Mingling memoir with more general insights, Bill Reynolds discovers in sports a common language that men use to reveal and to protect themselves. Glory Days is a warm, touching, perceptive depiction of America's obsession with games and youth.
Industry Reviews "A bang up job by Reynolds. for all failed Little Leaguers and average high-school and college jocks this is 'the real story of sports in America.'" Bellamy
