Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Ostrowsky is a skilled and versatile writer, and his solid research and interviews with an array of participants makes each of these stories a worthwhile read."-Buffalo News "David Ostrowsky deftly brings to life a sports year for the ages with his vivid memories of the Michael Jordan dynasty, Joe Montana's last legitimate shot at a Super Bowl ring, Joe Carter's epic World Series walk-off, and the reemergence of America's Team in Dallas. This book is a true delight for fans who love to relive the moments on the field that make them feel forever young."-Ian O'Connor, New York Times bestselling author of Belichick, The Captain, and Arnie & Jack "David paints a wonderful picture of the 1993 sports scene. He dramatically captures the magic of the Joe Montana and Marcus Allen led Chiefs season that was one to remember. From David's descriptions, you don't even have to be a Chiefs fan to understand how captivating 1993 was in Kansas City!"-Joe Valerio, former member of the Kansas City Chiefs and nominee for 1995 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award "To be honest-1993 meant nothing to me. It was no different to my memories than 1992 or 1994. But then David Ostrowsky comes along with this love letter to a year that (who knew?) actually changed and redefined the sports landscape. Kirby Puckett! Joe Montana! Lenny Dykstra! Emmitt Smith! Who knew one sliver of calendar time could be so damn fun?"-Jeff Pearlman, New York Times bestselling author of Boys Will Be Boys and Showtime "Remember 1993, when Joe Montana hobbled off into the Kansas City sunset of his career and John Starks had the nerve to challenge Michael Jordan? David Ostrowsky not only remembers, he did his homework to research that wild year and to capture it with passion and style."-Jonathan Eig, author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life.
