Notes: "Amazing tales of extraordinary sportsmen. ...Robert H. Boyle collects eccentrics the way the characters he brilliantly portrays collect flies or trophies. These profiles, most of which have appeared in Sports Illustrated over the past three decades, are by turns outrageous, hilarious, and ingenious". Includes profiles of Jack Gartside, James Joyce, Chanler Chapman, John Betts, Zane Grey, Dick Wolters, Joe DeFalco, Vladimir Nabokov and Dr. Herbert Axelrod.
