From 1981 until his death in 2010, Jasner was always "on the case," going to great lengths to track athletes down for a quote or a story. He was most known for covering the team's famous players, including World B. Free and Bobby Jones, Julius Erving and Moses Malone, Charles Barkley, and, of course, Iverson. His tremendous output was beloved by players and fans alike, earning him many honors, including inductions into six Halls of Fame. Phil Jasner "On the Case" collects the best of Jasner's writing throughout his illustrious career. Jasner wrote about baseball, the Eagles, and the Philadelphia Atoms' soccer with the same insight and aplomb he showed in his coverage of The Big 5, the 76ers' championship season in 1983, and the Dream Team. Lovingly assembled--each chapter is introduced by some of the most prominent figures Jasner covered, from Vince Papale, Doug Collins, and Billy Cunningham to Iverson and Barkley--this collection recounts a distinguished sportswriter's remarkable career"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Jasner, Phil, $d 1942-2010. 650 0 $a Sportswriters $z United States. 650 0 $a Sports journalism $z United States. 650 0 $a Sports $z Philadelphia $z Philadelphia $x History. 650 0 $a Professional sports $z Philadelphia $z Philadelphia $x History. 700 1 $a Jasner, Andy, $d 1969- $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180502011946.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C32A0A1EF11E11E79D0FC10F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
