The New York Times bestseller, now in paperback. America’s
most visible sports commentator recounts some of the most
dramatic moments in American sports and pays tribute to the
man who inspired him—his beloved father As vivid as an instant replay, Always by My Side gives
readers an insider’s 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
father’s 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 dad—and
his dad’s generation— represent. In recounting the highlights of more than two thrilling
decades with CBS Sports, Nantz recalls legendary voices of
his youth—such as Jim McKay, Chris Schenkel, Pat Summerall,
Jack Whitaker, and Dick Enberg—who sparked his imagination
and shaped his style. Always by My Side traces Nantz’s life and career, and along
the way readers are treated to an array of memories,
including Nantz’s 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
Father’s Day.
