Road Swing: Road Swing: One Fan's Journey Into The Soul Of America's Sports Paperback - 1999
by Steve Rushin
In this alternately hilarious and insightful account, named Best Book of 1998 by "Publishers Weekly, Sports Illustrated" writer Rushin uses the lens of sports to come to a deeper understanding of America.
From the publisher
First line
"'Working press'?" a Pittsburgh Pirate once said to me with a sneer.
From the rear cover
On the eve of his thirtieth birthday, Steve Rushin decided to revisit the twin pursuits of his youth: epic car trips and an unhealthy obsession with sports. So he jumped in his fully alarmed Japanese SUV and drove to great American sports shrines for a year -- everywhere from Larry Bird's boyhood home in French Lick, Indiana, to the cornfield just outside of Dyersville, Iowa, where Field of Dreams was filmed. Road Swing is the story of that pilgrimage, and of the bowlers, basketballers, Little Leaguers, linebackers, pool players, and all the rest that he met along the way.
