This volume ranks the greatest Jewish athletes, in all major sports, over 11 decades, using a limited scope and quantitative criteria. Each decade has seen someone different emerge as the greatest Jewish athlete, from boxer Abe Attell to baseball's Sandy Koufax and Ken Holtzman, to golf's Amy Alcott, to football's Harris Barton. Sports profiled include baseball, basketball, hockey, tennis, golf, auto racing, boxing, soccer, football, swimming and many others. Filled with historic photographs of the athletes profiled, and interspersed with interesting titbits of each athlete's personal life and career, this book should be of interest to the casual and serious sports enthusiast alike.
