As a long time Royals fan I was in college in Kansas City during the height of the Bo Knows hysteria and he sure made it a great time to be a baseball fan in the KC. Have many fond memories of grabbing cheap left field general admission tickets - just to have a front row seat to the Bo show.
I’d read a book on UNLV and Tark. Maybe because I grew up in L.A. during Tark’s glory days at Long Beach State and UNLV, and at least 3 guys from my high school played at UNLV.
Bo's first hit was proceeded by a foulball that produced a standing ovation. He didn't just beat the ball hit to 2nd base, he was 5 steps past 1B by the time the ball got there
Would enjoy reading a book deep diving on subjects like: Len Bias, 1980's Georgetown, 1970's Cowboys, Larry Bird, Isiah Thomas, Michael Irvin, Charles Hailey, 1960's Packers, Reggie White, Rocky Marciano
My book ideas for Jeff: 1980s 49ers, 1980s Raiders, Terrell Owens, Allen Iverson, Mike Tyson, Bernard Hopkins, Lennox Lewis, the 1990s Bills, John Elway, and the 1980s Broncos. If only there were enough living people to talk about the 1970s Steelers. Then again, there's Terry Bradshaw and Tony Dungy.
I would love to see a well written book about the 1970s Steelers. Joe Greene, Jack Lambert, Jack Ham, Rocky Bleier, Mel Blount, Lynn Swann and John Stallworth are all still around too. Lots of 70s pop culture cross-over and tragedy (Mike Webster).
I would certainly be interested in a deep dive into all those ideas except T.O. (Not all that compelling a personality IMO. All-time great WR tho) Lennox Lewis (same) Tyson (what book, doc, or film hasn't been made about Tyson at this point?) or Iverson (feel like I know all I need to know about A.I. but would probably be a best seller)
My first pro baseball game was at the Kingdome. Royals v Mariners during the Griffey era. The thing I most remember is Bo striking out 4 times and how huge Bo looked from the bleachers.
Ah Pearl good track reference as is often the case you are good for as much track pub as possible. No 5000 story? Maybe not the time lol keep up the great work.
I dont know why writers make unauthorized books,like are you that desperate for money and fame and you will write book about someone who dont want it...
So just let everyone tell their story and thats it???? Unauthorized books are how you drill down and get the good and the bad of someone. Authorized books are usually how they want to be remembered and not necessarily how they should be remembered.
Do a DEEEEEP dive into Urban Meyer. I can only the imagine the stories Pearlman would uncover.
Nothing redeeming, I am sure.

The Urban Meyer FLORIDA National Championship with Hernandez Tebow and Poncey Twins
No one writes a more entertaining book than Pearlman
So true! His Boys will be Boys book is my favorite of his. It might be my favorite sports book of all-time.
He's the greatest athlete to ever walk this planet...
Write a book about Deion Sanders.
I saw Bo break a bat over his knee at Tiger Stadium. In person the guy is huge.

Terrell Owens is a fantastic idea
That 80’s Raiders would be so awesome!!

WWF 80's mass audience... that can't read!

A book about pro wrestling in the 80's would be VERY INTERESTING!
Will the Thrill Clark, those late 80's teams, the 84 olympics, mississippi state, Rangers years.

he doesnt have anything to gain by giving out bookwise information about himself. Bo Knows Biographers
How about a book on the von Erich family
What was that?
