David Halberstam Bundle: Summer of '49, October 1964, The Amateurs, Playing for Keeps Amazon Kindle eBook $4.99
$4.99

I have to admit that I haven't (yet) read any of these books by David Halberstam, but all four are bestsellers. This set is called "David Halberstam on Sports" and is one of the daily discounted books in the Kindle store from Amazon. For $5 you get the four books shown below. Seems like a great deal to me for those who love sports - especially baseball.
Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist David Halberstam, preeminent chronicler of the American experience, focuses his meticulous narrative gifts on some of Major League Baseball's most iconic moments, training for the Olympics, and a remarkable profile of hoops legend Michael Jordan.
Summer of '49: In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Halberstam brings to stirring life the unforgettable season that cemented baseball as America's pastime. A nation in transition is gripped by a pennant race for the ages: the Boston Red Sox, led by Ted Williams's unearthly bat skills, versus the New York Yankees and Joe DiMaggio's legendary heroics. Every hit on and off the field crackles across the page "in such an enjoyable, interesting, and informative manner that a reader needn't be a baseball fan to appreciate the book" (Library Journal).
October 1964: The 1964 World Series pitted the established Yankees against the upstart St. Louis Cardinals in an epic, seven-game seesaw battle that seemed to reflect the tensions of a nation in turmoil. The barnburner included a cast of legends—Mantle, Maris, Ford, Gibson, Brock—and enough game-changing plays to last a lifetime. Halberstam captures every moment with "a fluidity of writing that make[s] the reading almost effortless. . . . Absorbing" (San Francisco Chronicle).
The Amateurs: This inspirational bestseller focuses Halberstam's brilliant reportage on the travails and triumphs of Olympic rowing. Introducing us to a cast of highly driven athletes at the 1984 single sculls trials in Princeton, Halberstam delves deep into their struggles, motivations, and failures—but in the end only one will represent the United States at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Informative and compelling, Halberstam "maintains the suspense to the very last stroke" (Sports Illustrated).
Playing for Keeps: A wildly entertaining and revealing portrait of global icon Michael Jordan and the rise of the NBA. With his usual impeccable research and gripping storytelling, Halberstam covers the whole court, from the transformative rivalry of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson to the invention of ESPN to Spike Lee's Nike commercials to every unforgettable playoff game that built Jordan's legend. "Filled with salty, informed hoops talk" (Publishers Weekly), this "remarkable book . . . [is] a must-read for basketball fans, admirers of Jordan, and anyone who seeks to understand sports in America today" (Bill Bradley).
