Description
How did we go from peach baskets to breakaway rims? From underhand lobs to 100-mph fastballs? The history of sports is full of hard-won victories, but they weren't all about being the fastest or scoring the most points.
Lavishly illustrated, They Changed the Game tells 50 stories of pioneering players, obscure rules, and defining moments that have shaped the games we love. Spanning sports of all kinds, from football and tennis to speed skating and the Paralympic Games, this book celebrates how our most beloved pastimes evolved—and commemorates the trailblazers who made it all happen. Told through the artwork of talented artists from all over the world, this is a vibrant and stylish celebration of creativity both on and off the field.
