First-time author Fritz Knapp brings to life the amazing and inspirational stories of some of the greatest athletes ever to grace the baseball diamond, the football grid iron, the tennis court, or the hockey rink. The players in these pages took the hard knocks that life threw at them and faced those adversities with determination (Susan Butcher), appreciation for life’s gifts (Lou Gehrig), and integrity (Arthur Ashe). Their athletic skills and talents made them good; the way they lived their lives made them great.
