Sobre IBD

For anyone who writes biographically about these heroes, it’s vital to provide some little-known, surprising facts to give the reader a better idea of what they were really like and give a fuller picture of their lives. I hope I have succeeded in that regard.This book is a collection of no-holds-barred profiles and commentary drawn mostly from my interviews—many one-on-one—with legendary athletes, as well as one iconic broadcaster. I have added interesting facts gleaned from historical research to bring these heroes into sharper focus. In summary, this book is a combination of memoir, biography, and sports history. —from the Introduction to Hub Heroes
