Welcome to Sports Legends Revealed!
With the release in two weeks of my new book, Was Superman a Spy? and Other Comic Book Legends Revealed (see the sidebar to pre-order a copy!), I thought it would be neat to have a site here (and at Entertainment Legends Revealed) where I can discuss other legends revealed!
The way this will work is that each week day I will feature two legends from the world of sports, typically one in the afternoon and one in the evening.
The web site, Snopes.com, is a great reference site for legends. Be sure to check out their various sports legends, because I won’t be featuring any legends that were featured there first (as that would be pretty lame, wouldn’t it?).
On that same point, one of my favorite sportswriters, Rob Neyer, came out with a book recently about Baseball Legends (click here to buy it!). I don’t think that there really would be much overlap between what Rob was doing in that book and what I plan on doing here, but again, just to be sure, if Rob featured a legend in his book, I won’t feature it here (note featured – if Rob mentions something in passing and I pick up on it, that’s different).
You can always reach me at bcronin@legendsrevealed.com to suggest legends to be featured or for any other reason, really.
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy the site!
