Sports fans have been slammed with tales of triumphant heroes, remarkable willpower, brilliant strategists, and against-all-odds comebacks. History, after all, is written by the winners. This book isn't about them. You Lose Some, You Lose Somefocuses on those "other" competitors -- the ones who distinguished themselves by holding tight to the losing end of the stick. The ones who had a shot at greatness but fumbled the handoff, dropped the easy fly ball, or bricked the breakaway layup. The ones like Chris Webber with his infamous time out, the 1919 Black Sox, Mary Decker and her fall from Olympic victory, and the Stanford football team of 1982. Lou Harry and Eric Furman tell these stories and more in candid, humorous, fact-filled entries.Harry, Lou is the author of 'You Lose Some, You Lose Some The Beyond-Belief Screwed-Up Seasons, Guresome Games, Doomed Dynasties, Failed Favorites, Pitiful Players, and Fouled-Up Franchises in the History of', published 2004 under ISBN 9781578601837 and ISBN 1578601835.
