The New York Times bestseller, now in paperback. Americaβs most visible sports commentator recounts some of the most dramatic moments in American sports and pays tribute to the man who inspired himβhis beloved father As vivid as an instant replay, Always by My Side gives readers an insiderβs look into an unprecedented sixty-three- day stretch from February through April of 2007, when Jim Nantz became the first broadcaster to call the Super Bowl, the Final Four, and the Masters. Though Nantz was unable to share the voyage with his dad, the devoted son felt his fatherβs presence every step of the way, and used this championship odyssey to celebrate the people, venues, and moments that tapped into all the goodness that his dadβand his dadβs generationβ represent. In recounting the highlights of more than two thrilling decades with CBS Sports, Nantz recalls legendary voices of his youthβsuch as Jim McKay, Chris Schenkel, Pat Summerall, Jack Whitaker, and Dick Enbergβwho sparked his imagination and shaped his style. Always by My Side traces Nantzβs life and career, and along the way readers are treated to an array of memories, including Nantzβs special relationship with former president George H. W. Bush and his friendships with such sports royalty as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Peyton Manning, Tony Dungy, Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, Mike Krzyzewski, John Wooden, and many others. Always by My Side turns every day into Fatherβs Day.
