Over Time

My Life as a Sportswriter
Frank Deford - 2012 Grove/ Atlantic, Inc.

Frank Deford can well be considered the Yankees of sports writers, not just because he's so good but also because he's just that good.

What strikes me the most about Deford is not so much what he writes about but how he writes about it.  Unlike many from the myriads of sports writers today, Deford has a unique writing style, at once humorous, nostalgic, intellectual and endearing, that turns his work into literature.

Over Time is highly recommended for any fan of good writing and that it is about sports, the old days of sports writing and offers a perspective on the present state of affairs is an added benefit to such a good book.
