An exciting, touching, funny, sad, inspiring book by an award-winning sports writer and former athlete. A great gift for any sports fan. Over 70 black and white photos!

Editorial Reviews

"Men of Spirit, Men of Sports is about tough guys with a strong faith in God, and about how the games little boys play help form them as men. Carew profiles several sports figures of extraordinary faith...he has a gift for mixing tenderness with toughness, as you might expect from an altar boy who also played linebacker."

The Boston Globe

"Carew writes about many famous athletes, and the result is a fascinating book."
