  • Yeah, lose the music.

    You could take some voice coaching for the sound.

    Elocution is fine, just your... rhythm.

  • @kirkwell

    I'd like to read that Clemente book, having seen him bounce numerous line drives off the right field wall at Connie Mack Stadium..

  • Indeed great reading. Interesting is how carefully Maraniss researched the chapter about the combined German team. I can only recommend his book.

  • . . . 2020, rome olympics.

  • I notice that the author also wrote a book about a childhood sports hero of mine, Roberto Clemente, that I'll have to read. I was lucky enough to see two of the all-time greats play in person up in San francisco... Willie Mays and Roberto Clemente. The book he wrote about Clemente is entitled 'Clemente: The Passion And Grace Of Baseball's Last Hero.'

    If you read this message David, congratulations on writing this outstanding book on the 1960 Olympics and thanks for a great read.

  • Just finished the book 'Rome 1960 :The Olympics That Changed The World' and highly recommend it. The detail and amount of research the author, David Maraniss, must have done to write it is mind-boggling. This was the first Olympics that registered in my consciousness (being born in 1950). Plus I grew up not far from Kingsburg, the home of Rafer Johnson, so I remember the battle he had with C.K. Yang for the gold in the decathlon because it was heavily covered in our local media.
