Paul T. Owens takes a moving and fun look at sports, fans, athletes and athletic organizations in this new compilation of his writings. This book is written for people who find fun at play, those who must have games and teams to follow, and those who believe that athletic motion is what keeps the earth moving through space.

Paul T. Owens takes you on a panoramic tour of sports, from the first game ever played, to the people who were the first at their positions on their fields of play. These are the insightful stories behind the excitement we see in every game, of those who managed the events, and those who played to entertain and to win. And most importantly, those who were there first. As a sports writer, Paul T. Owens' articles have appeared in the New York Times and in the Los Angeles Times.
