* Review: Everything They Had

May 30, 2008

The National Sports Review gave this posthumous collection of Halberstam’s sports pieces top marks.

Upshot:

The book is littered with really interesting stories, including a neat section on Michael Jordan. I love reading about Michael Jordan so I was glad to see he was included. The story about his interview with Ted Williams was really neat too. Basically Halberstam is second to none in his biographies of professional athletes.

The reviewer’s sole complaint: Halbertam’s “tendency his tendency to be ‘old-manish’ and complain that things were better back in his day.”
