Title: The Pros Author: Robert Liston Publisher: Platt & Munk (1968) Description What it takes to be a pro in major sports. From the flap:Raymond Berry of the Baltimore Colts is a nearsighted man, five steps slower than other ends in pro football and a good deal smaller and lighter than most. Why then is he listed in the record books as the greatest pass catcher ever to play in the NFL? . Dick Williams was an undistinguished “utility man” with the Los Angeles Dodgers and then a minor league manager of no great renown. How was he able to take the Boston Red Sox, a ninth place team in 1966, and somehow, miraculously, turn them into 1967’s pennant winners? Billy Casper is far less well known than Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. Yet Casper is actually number three on golf’s all-time money-winning list. What are the secrets of Casper’s silent, steady success? In this unique and provocative book, Robert Liston has talked to 13 greats in the world of professional athletics and set down their honest answers to questions that sports fans everywhere are curious about. What kind of man plays pro ball? Are ballplayers more intelligent than the rest of us who watchtheir heroic feats in ball parks or on TV screens? Is it luck or talent that spells success in professional athletics? Answering these questions and many others under Mr. Liston’s skillful guidance, the sports stars in this book provide a fascinating close-up portrait of what the American pro athlete is really like. At the same time they reveal many absorbing secrets of their professions. Bob Feller, for example, describes how he threw the amazing fast ball that earned him the nickname of ‘‘Rapid Robert.’ Johnny Unitas discusses the tricks and secrets of being a pro quarterback. And Billy Casper analyzes the problems of playing tournament golf. There is plenty of fuel for controversy here, too, as these athletes talk frankly about the men they have played with and against. A rich and entertaining inside view of professional football, baseball, golf, basketball and hockey, The Pros is the year’s most exciting sports book. ROBERT LISTON, who sometimes de- scribes himself as ‘“‘a militant non-athlete,’’ is actually a tennis player of considerable skill. Mr. Liston grew up in Ohio and graduated from Hiram College there. During the Korean War, he edited a frontline newspaper and after the war worked as a reporter for theBaltimore News American, specializing in crime stories. He is the author of several books, among them The Dangerous World of Spies and Spying and Great Detectives, published by Platt & Munk. JO POLSENO who did the portraits of the men in this book, is a sports fan who is particularly excited by pro football. Mr Polseno attended the Whitney Art School in New Haven, where he took a degree in Fine Arts, and the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Marseilles. His illustrations appeared in leading magazines a nave dozens of books. Condition:Very Good – Some age wear. Ghost of price sticker on rear endpaper.

We may upgrade your package at our discretion to USPS Ground Advantage. Package will be shipped within 4 business days after payment – usually faster. The USPS can be notoriously slow, it could take 2-3 weeks for delivery. Please take that into account when leaving feedback, that we will ship quickly, but the USPS can take a long time to deliver, and we have no control over delivery time. Why Shipping Costs Are What They Are: eBay users may note that postal rates increased AGAIN on July 14, 2024. That’s EIGHT price hikes in 4 years. This was the largest single price increase ever: 10% on media mail. USPS shipping is getting expensive, but eBay also charges sellers 15% on the shipping cost (+ the taxes), in addition to the actual package shipping cost. That fact and the USPS business model has made shipping prices rise quite a bit since 2019. In 2019 a one pound package sent via media mail cost $2.75. Today it is 68% more to send the same package. This is all part of the bi-annual price increases starting in 2020 & the misguided USPS 10 Year Plan – “Delivering For America,” implemented in 2021 which twice per year, every year until 2030 will keep increasing rates, while the USPS continues to lose billions of dollars. Combined Shipping if you Buy or Win Multiple Auctions Multiple book/media auction wins will qualify for combined shipping when possible. Do not pay until auctions you are bidding on are complete. Email to let us know that you will be bidding or have won more than one item. A revised combined invoice will then be sent after you tell us you are done bidding. Otherwise, if you pay before all auctions are complete or pay separately – combined shipping is not available. Sales Tax: If your state has sales tax, it is collected by eBay & then paid to your state tax authority. Sellers do not make money from this but are charged a percentage by eBay on the total sale including tax – insane, but true. Returns No returns. We describe all items conservatively.
