Summary:
The two Escobars: "A gripping drama about the intersection of crime, sports and nationalism in 1990's Columbia. At a time when drug money fueled the sport known in the underworld as "narco-soccer", the fates of Andres Escobar, the inspirational captain of Nacional, and Pablo Escobar, the notorious leader of the Medellin cartel, were permanently linked. When Andre was murdered 10 days after scoring an own goal against the US in the first round of the 1994 World Cup, it cost the country more than a shot at the title."--Container. Once brothers: "Close friends and teammates, Drazen Petrovic and Vlade Divac grew up sharing the common bond of basketball. But when war broke out between Petrovic's Croatia and Divac's Serbia, long buried ethnic tensions surfaced and circumstances beyond their control tore their friendship apart."--Container. Fernando nation: "20-year-old Fernando Valenzuela was one of the most captivating pitching phenoms baseball has ever seen. Virtually overnight, he became a hero to millions of Latinos. Relive Valenzuela's impact on baseball, the Dodgers and the entire Los Angeles Mexican community."--Container. The best that never was: In 1981, Marcus Dupree was the most sought after high school senior in the country, but his short-lived football career was littered with oversized expectations, controversy, injury and conflict. Follow the poignant and compelling story of "the best that never was"."--Container.
