Best About Sports Sports Comic Book
Best About Sports Sports Comic Book Top 25 FREE Series Copyright 2013 | 2nd Edition 2015 By Jim Sweeney The subject of sports always triggers debate. Pick a player, celebrate a team or remember a championship moment, regardless of the sport, and I guarantee that a lively discussion will quickly follow. Animated, verbal altercations about any athlete and team embroil sports fans everywhere and foster what I believe is Best About Sports. In a relative’s living room, at a neighborhood bar or around the office water cooler, the mere mention of a certain player or team will instantaneously ignite colorful conversation and more than likely ruffle some one’s feathers. Reference the New York Yankees & impassioned Boston Red Sox fans will be eager to engage in an animated verbal altercation. Criticize Kobe and Los Angeles Lakers lovers will immediately compare the Black Mamba to MJ as well as list Bryant along with Magic, Wilt, Kareem, Shaq and even Mikan in their long line of NBA titles. Praise the Pack and surely Steelers, Saints and Patriots faithful will some how seek to metaphorically kick you right in your Cheesehead. Wear a FC Barcelona jersey in public and you’ll quickly feel the glaring eyes of Manchester United hooligans lurking ominously nearby. Sports chatter stirs the embers of conversations from yesterday’s big game as well as from championship games played decades ago. Fans who can’t remember what they ate for lunch have amazing recollection of events on the ice, hardwood, pitch, end zone or home plate from decades back and always seek outlets to share their passion, opinions and angst.

During the age when newspapers were the main source for news and opinions about sports, Pittsburgh’s top sportswriters wrote daily columns, sponsored major charities, and became household names. They were routinely elected president of the Baseball Writers Association of America and of the National Football Writers Association.2 A few eventually received Hall of Fame recognition for their meritorious service to sports, including playing a leading role in the integration of baseball, and one became famous for creating the Terrible Towel.3 Pittsburgh’s newspaper archives are filled with bylines of The Golden Age of Pittsburgh’s Sportswriters sportswriters who wove the stories that helped transform the city’s championship teams and athletes into legends.
