The greatest sportswriters of America came down to a few exceptional men who could put into words all of the drama, excitement and thrills of what they saw, and pound it out over the jammed wires of the press services. The most noteable were Damon Runyon, Ring Lardner, Paul Gallico and Grantland Rice. Grantland Rice, served 53 years in the sports world and was loved by the people. Granny not only covered history - he wrote it!
