Over the course of five decades, Dick Schaap carved out his own legend with his reportorial verve, his indefatigable curiosity, and his irrepressible wit. This memoir, the last book from the former ABC correspondent and host of ESPNs The Sports Reporters, recounts a charmed career in which he met almost everyone and saw almost everything. Schaap walked with sluggers and senators, cops and comedians, authors and actresses. The sights he saw and the words he heard are all here in stories that will make you laugh and cry.With an introduction by Tuesdays with Morrie author Mitch Albom, Dick Schaap As Told To Dick Schaap offers the ultimate highlight reel of the last fifty years and makes a compelling case that if the revered journalist wasnt there to see it, it didnt happen.

I must say that the personal stories of his failed marriages was kind of off putting, but he seems to be poking fun at himself more than anything else. The book itself is incredible. This guy knew everybody. He was able to befriend just about everyone out there, whether they are in politics, sports, or anything else that matters. The stories are great, and the view points hilarious. Anyone can find fault in what anyone says. I find that the two reviewers who gave this book a negative review seems to be looking for something to pick on. The faults that they ascribe to the author may be valid, but they are also nitpicking. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has some time and want to read about a fascinating life spent conversing with some of the more interesting people in our society. So what if Schaap gloats a little or lamentsa his many marriages, he's entitled. (
