Peerless and compelling, for years journalist Pete Elman has shared his remarkable sports essays with lucky Bay Area readers. Lucid, insightful, finely researched, and with a gift for capturing motivations and powers at play, Elman invites you, the reader, and through his essays, to relive the magic and anguish, and heartbreaks and thrills, which many of us have witnessed and all shared as Bay Area fans.
