Sports Hero

A Farewell to Heroes by Frank Graham,

Originally published in 1981 sports hero and long out of print, A Farewell to Heroes covers five unforgettable decades of the New York sporting life from 1915 to 1965. Told initially from the point of view of Frank Graham, premier sportswriter for The New York Sun. This dual autobiography also includes the writings of Frank, Jr., who picks up the narrative as he becomes a sports journalist in his own right. Frank Graham, Sr., was a self-taught writer known for his uncanny ability to capture the high drama of a game-winning play or the color of a fight mob's conversation in spare, straightforward prose. As a reporter, he covered the rough-and-tumble Giants of John McGraw's day sports hero and continued through boxing's greatest era, spanning the reigns of Jack Dempsey sports hero and Joe Louis. As the younger Frank tells more of the story, we watch Lou Gehrig take Babe Ruths place as the Yankees' star sports hero and then trace his glorious career to its tragic conclusion. We see firsthand the legendary Branch Rickey sports hero and Jackie Robinson sports hero and boxing's brief but golden age on television in the 1950s. Aided by sixteen photographs sports hero and preserving the most masterful of his father's writing while adding to it the best of his own, Frank Graham, Jr., has given the sports fan A Farewell to Heroes, perhaps the ultimate sports reminiscence of a time when the romance of sport gave life a golden hue, when heroes still roamed the earth.
