Note that the book noted in the link featured an introduction by the late George
Plimpton, who penned two of this poster's favorite sports books: "Paper Lion", an
account of his time as a backup QB for the mid 60s Detroit Lions, and Open Net,
covering the time he spent as a back up goaltender with the Boston Bruins.
Unfortunately, Mr. Plimpton was too lanky to ride racehorses, or he might have done
a wonderful take on horse racing.
"Light under a bushel", I think I read that somewhere recently....
