Synthesizing strategy and grace, athletic activity is much more than an exhibition of physical dexterity or a battle of brawn. From schoolyard scrimmages to professional-level championship tournaments, competition thrives alongside camaraderie, as teams seek to defend the pride of their home turf. Inspiring the deep-seated passions of both players and fans alike, the games of baseball, basketball, football, and soccer have encouraged professional athletes to defy physical and social boundaries, elevating their franchises to international renown. These exciting volumes examine the evolution of these four sports and the journeys of their most exceptional players.
