Ebook About A rollicking guided tour of one extraordinary summer, when some of the most pivotal and freakishly coincidental stories all collided and changed the way we think about modern sports The summer of 1984 was a watershed moment in the birth of modern sports when the nation watched Michael Jordan grow from college basketball player to professional athlete and star. That summer also saw ESPN’s rise to media dominance as the country’s premier sports network and the first modern, commercialized, profitable Olympics. Magic Johnson and Larry Bird’s rivalry raged, Martina Navratilova and John McEnroe reigned in tennis, and Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon made pro wrestling a business, while Donald Trump pierced the national consciousness as a pro football team owner. It was an awakening in the sports world, a moment when sports began to morph into the market-savvy, sensationalized, moneyed, controversial, and wildly popular arena we know today. In the tradition of Bill Bryson’s One Summer: America, 1927, L. Jon Wertheim captures these 90 seminal days against the backdrop of the nostalgia-soaked 1980s, to show that this was the year we collectively traded in our ratty Converses for a pair of sleek, heavily branded, ingeniously marketed Nikes. This was the year that sports went big-time.Book Glory Days: The Summer of 1984 and the 90 Days That Changed Sports and Culture Forever Review :
I loved the summer of 1984. When I saw the cover of the book Glory Days, I was intrigued. But it was a bad review on Amazon that convinced me to buy it.How often do you make a purchase because of a two-star review? Not too often.The disgruntled reviewer was upset because the author failed to mention the 1984 Detroit Tigers. Lamenting the omission of the Jack Morris led Tigers, he wrote, "It is particularly ridiculous considering that he had two chapters on his hometown team, the loser Chicago Cubs, who not only didn't win the championship, they didn't even win the pennant having choked away the NLCS. The 84 Tigers earned their place in history, the 84 Cubs did not. The 84 Tigers are worth remembering, the 84 Cubs (for most people outside of Chicago) are not."The reviewer and I will have to agree to disagree on whether the 84 Cubs are a team to be remembered. When I read the review, I looked up at the pennant that hangs in my office, and I was like—two chapters on the 84 Cubs, now that's a book for me. I turned 13 years old in the summer of 1984, and was the typical pre-teen sports fanatic, glued to my parent's tube television for virtually all of the events covered in this book. I can't tell you how much of a walk down memory lane this book was, and it had a nice balance of well-known stories with little-known facts about the events covered. I particularly liked how the author described that while it was unfolding, nobody could have known how that time period would alter the course of the sports world forever; it is only with the gift of time that we realized how special that was. Just a tremendously entertaining book.
