Can you guess the most memorable sports moments to happen in the Big
Apple?
Collected together for the first time, The 20 Greatest Moments in New
York Sports History chronicles the most memorable sporting events to be
held in New York, ranking them based on importance and effect on the
sport (and city).
Broken down into four parts, each event will include the storyline that
led up to the moment, original materials from the media coverage of the
event, a column from a local journalist to lend perspective, and finally
first-person accounts from the men and women that made these moments
happen.
Veteran journalists Todd Ehrlich and Gary Myers dive deep into each of
these moments, sharing why they are so special and the reason we still
talk about them today. Including original interviews and information
previously unreleased, The 20 Greatest Moments in New York Sports
History is not only for the New York sports fan, but anyone who
appreciates the amazing effect that baseball, basketball, football,
hockey, tennis, golf, boxing, and numerous other sports can have on our
cities and country as a whole.
So...which event will be at the top? Roger Maris breaking The Babe's
Home Run record? Willis Reed hobbling onto the count before game seven
against the Lakers in the 1970 NBA Finals? David Tyree's "Helmet Catch"
in Super Bowl XLII? Mark Messier's guarantee before the 1994 Stanley
Cup? Tiger Woods dominating on Bethpage's "Black Course" to win the 2002
US Open? Or perhaps the bout at Madison Square Garden between Muhammad
Ali and Joe Frazier? There's only one way to find out!
