INSIGHTS and OUTTAKES
EXCERPTS and EPIPHANIES from the WORLD of SPORTS
In this bold, irreverent collection, Bay Area sportswriter Pete Elman assembled 49 of his articles, originally published in the Ultimate Sports Guide’s Sports Today online magazine and for the Oakland Athletics Fan Coalition.
This incisive and often humorous book features some of the teams and individuals who have brought so much joy, controversy, passion and pain to the landscape of pro sports. With a nod to the outspoken scribes that have preceded him, Elman pulls no punches in describing the topical issues that have seized our imaginations along the way.

in the NFL, NBA, MLB & NHL
“A thrilling addition to the legacy of outstanding Bay Area sports journalism. This book cannot be glanced over.”
