It is also quite well-written.

I don't typically like to read about them, but I do like watching them on occasion. If I lived in Michigan, I'd probably watch or listen to the Tiger games and I'm enjoying the Olympics. I just can't see reading about it... The only book I can ever remember reading about sports had something to do about baseball, but that was eons ago.

Remember the Titans is one of my favorite sports movies (that I included in my BTT post, too) as well as Miracle. And all those movies have a lot of human drama and personal sacrifice in them, which makes the best stories - sports or not. I completely agree with you.

It actually made baseball seem interesting! (though not interesting enough for me to watch it on TV.)

The Olympics do sometimes have an interesting effect from a social standpoint, but for the most part the sports side doesn't interest me at all. I’d rather be reading, too!
