Book Synopsis Beyond the Game by : Gary Smith
Book excerpt: Beyond the Game brings together the fifteen greatest stories by one of the most highly acclaimed sports journalists working today, Gary Smith. From the inspirational story of an extraordinary mentally retarded man named Radio and the high school football team that has adopted him for over thirty years, to the unforgettable profile of basketball coach Jim Valvano and his courageous battle against cancer, these stories are more than just great sportswriting. They are great writing, period. Each of Smith's stories -- of dreams and fears, failure and triumph, self-destruction and salvation -- will profoundly touch you and remain with you, long after you have closed the pages of this book.
