This latest book by longtime sports journalist Dan Coughlin shares his memories and anecdotes about Cleveland sports and sports figures, all told with Coughlin's dry, sharp wit. On a side note, I'll never forget the one-liner he delivered ages ago while doing a sports cast on television. It was regarding another game the Cavs lost, at a time when the Cavs were a complete embarrassment. It was around Easter time, and Coughlin quipped that "the Cavs must have given up winning for Lent." At any rate, Coughlin shares several stories. Some of the most memorable include a story about four golfing buddies who got zapped by lightening one day while they were out playing a round- and all four lived to tell the tale! Another tale involves a Browns lineman who, in a quarrel with his wife, got shot by her. He, too, lived and if anything they grew closer together. Just never know. This is a great collection of stories about the great sports figures -- great both on and off the field -- and the not-so greats, like the talented but temperamental Albert Belle and a former Indians owner who, among other problems, nearly killed a couple of spectators during a weird publicity stunt. Anyone who is a sports fan, a local history fan, or anyone who likes a quick, fun read should enjoy this book. And now I want to get my hands on his first two....
