Steve is a great storyteller, and I enjoyed listening to these diverse accounts of people, teams and seasons in a variety of sports. He does thorough research and brings the tales to life. I loved listening to the excited announcers actual broadcast where those are included. You know the ultimate outcome will be victory, but Steve makes what led to success compelling.
