The book is a compilation of articles about one-wall handball, a sport played mainly in New York City. The articles were originally published in "Handball" Magazine and date back to 1969 up until the present day. Subject matter includes sketches of unique players, special award winners, obituaries, and those who played the game on the very highest level. In addition the author considers issues which confront handball players: nervousness prior to tournament play, injuries affecting aging players, and much more. Several of the articles evaluate the skills of the game's great players in historical perspective. The author is an acknowledged expert (by the United States Handball Association) in the sport of one-wall handball. He himself is a USHA award winner, a National Grandmaster (10 age-group national championships in singles and doubles), and a member of the New York Handball Hall of Fame, both as a player and contributor to the sport. His writing ranges from the serious to the humorous. Although in chronological order, each article is a separate entity, and may be read in any order a reader chooses. It is the author's hope that the book will help to popularize the one-wall game - to bring more people, young and old, to it, and to see it, some day, reach the international Olympics.
