In this personal and moving book, William Gildea, a sportswriter for the
Washington Post, blends reminiscences of his boyhood in Baltimore with
profiles of famous Colts players such as Johnny Unitas, Lenny Moore,
Gino Marchetti, Raymond Berry, Art Donovan, Y. A. Title, and others.
Recalling his relationship with his father and the love they shared for
a team, Gildea evokes the spirit of 1950s America, when professional
athletes were workaday neighbors and community was more than a political
slogan.
