At a
time when baseball's greatest heroes were not yet
earning great fortunes in their chosen sport, when
football was merely a game for college students,
the greatest names in sports were cyclists, making
a handsome living racing on tightly banked oval
indoor tracks. Madison Square Garden and other
venues around the country annually hosted events
that pulled in crowds for six days and nights to
watch the greatest show in town: the Six-Day Races.
This highly pictorial book gives the first thorough account of this once robust sport. Using photographs from his own and Jeff Groman's collections, author Peter Nye provides the story that ties it all together. Hard Cover, 8 x 11", 224 pages, 350 duotone and color photographs.
