In Over Time: My Life as a Sportswriter, a book that is both moving and funny, Frank Deford chronicles the heroes and the characters of just about every sport in nearly every medium. Interwoven through the personal history of his unconventional and wide ranging career, Deford lovingly traces the entire arc of American sports writing, from the lurid early days of the Police Gazette, through sportswriters Grantland Rice and Red Smith, to ESPN. Deford is the author of 10 novels, and he is a recipient of a Peabody and an Emmy Award. He recently reached another landmark achievement by reading his 1,500th commentary on NPR's Morning Edition.
