If you like to read about sports
or like sports talk radio today
then you need to read this book.
It is called "All those mornings... at the Post"
and is part biography of Shirley Povich (yes, Maury's father)
who was a legendary sports writer for the
Washington Post for more than 70 years!
But it is also a collection of many different
stories that he wrote over the many years
(1920-1994) he worked at the post as a
sports writer.
He covered things like Babe Ruth's called shot
and Gerhig's final game, but also
lived to see and report on Ripken breaking
that record, McGwire and Bonds breaking the HR records,
and more! What a lifetime he has had
and he book is full of great imagery and
storytelling worth your time.
