Summary
Classic Canadian sports writing, covering Joe Carter's World Series-winning home run for the Jays in 1993 to the excitement of the back-to-back men's and women's hockey gold medals in Salt Lake City. Brunt includes stories of lower profile sports such as wrestling, horse racing, and even Monster Truck battles. An examination of the deep role sport plays in our lives and imaginations, in our sense of self and nationhood. Some descriptions of sex and violence, some strong language. 2004
