I always loved watching The Sports Reporters on ESPN on Sunday mornings.  Dick Schaap was the host of the show.  He was a great journalist and wonderful storyteller.  I recently picked up his autobiography.  As much as Flashing Before My Eyes follows the tales of Schaap’s wide circle of contacts, it is also a memoir of his own personal life, from his childhood to his days as a hungry young reporter, and his unfolding exploits over the five decades. He reveals the untold stories and anecdotes of the heroes and villains he met in and outside the sports world.  A great read.
