Mixed feelings about this book. I like the biographical sketches but am slightly uninterested in the sports portions. Joe Rantz has had a hard life and it's eye opening to read about it, I also enjoy the character of George Pocock. The writing style is okay, not my favorite: it's a little too flowery.
