Ep. #52 Jeffrey Gurock - Marty Glickman -The Life of an American Sports Legend
Manage episode 393963147 series 2494675
Jeffrey Gurock is the author of a great new comprehensive biography of the premier voice of New York sports from the 1940s through the 1990s. The book is Marty Glickman, The Life of an American Jewish Sports Legend. I loved the book and our podcast discussion.
It's a sweet, sweet, bittersweet biography. Romania, the Bronx and Brooklyn, the example set by Hank Greenberg and by Sandy Koufax, track and football in high school and college, quotas limiting the number of Jews in certain colleges, the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, the Jews who were precipitously excluded from the competition, American Nazis (truly, American Nazis), the great Jessie Owens, and a phenomenal sportscasting career for a gracious and generous gentleman. Really terrific.
