It's Not Over 'til it's Over

In "It's Not Over 'Til It's Over," Al Silverman, former editor of "Sport" magazine and author of "I Am Third" (on which the movie "Brian's Song" was based), exuberantly re-creates the most electrifying down-to-the-wire sports turnarounds of the last hundred years. With extraordinary narrative detail and fresh insights culled from interviews with many of the participants of these now-legendary contests, "It's Not Over 'Til It's Over" captures the thrill and astonishment of players and spectators alike. Whether it is the bottom of the ninth, the 15th round, or the eighteenth hole that brings cheering, screaming, fans to their feet, each of these thirteen tales celebrates the uncompromising, unwillingness to quit that has proven, time and again: you better not leave the stadium early.
