QUITE A BOOK

THIS BOOK IS BY HAL LEBOVITZ, FORMER SPORTS EDITOR FOR THE CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER. THIS IS A COLLECTION STORIES AND COLUMNS THAT HE WROTE DURING HIS TENURE AT THE PLAIN DEALER. INCLUDED IS HIS VERY FAMOUS STORY OF "DID YOU EVER CUT A BOY?" AND MANY OTHERS. MOST OF HIS STORIES ARE ABOUT CLEVELAND SPORTS, ALTHOUGH SOME CONCERN NATIONAL STORIES. MOSY OF HIS STORIES HAVE TO DO WITH CHARACTER, INTEGRITY AND THE HUMAN SIDE OF HIS SUBJECTS. I HAVE A VERY HIGH REGARD FOR HAL AND ENJOYED HIS COLUMNS FOR MANY YEARS. I WAS RECENTLY VERY STUNNED AND SAD WHEN I READ OF HIS RECENT DEATH. HAL WROTE OF CHARACTER, VALUES AND MORALS AND HIS LIFE REFLECTED THAT. HIS STORIES WERE VERY REFRESHING. THE SELF CENTERED AND GREEDY ATHLETES OF TODAY SHOULD READ THIS. I HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS FOR EVERY SPORTS FAN.
