For the Sports Loving Dad
This is one of my husbands favorite Father’s Day books. Dads do what the best coaches do—they motivate, mentor, discipline, and love. Author and parenting expert Tom Limbert takes wisdom from John Madden, Vince Lombardi, Tommy Lasorda, Phil Jackson, and many more, and applies it to fatherhood.
The story of the game comes to life through beautiful photos, original lists, charts, creative statistics, and infographics, along with artifacts essential to the story of the sport. A perfect gift, NFL 100 will be cherished by every football fan, new or old.
Profiles of such legendary figures as Joe DiMaggio, Pete Rose, and Yogi Berra. Essays that explore the complexities and pleasures of the game, even an excerpt from the movie Bull Durham. This is the perfect book for anyone who has ever played so much as a game of catch.
