Advance Praise for 1996 "From Griffey and Prime Time to Jordan and Jeter, 1996 serves as a Vegas-style buffet of sports legend. Years come, years go. But Jon Finkel's masterpiece proves that, on rare occasion, some 365-day spans are worth bronzing in gold." —Jeff Pearlman, author of Three-Ring Circus: Shaq, Kobe, Phil, and the Crazy Years of the Lakers Dynasty "Part time machine, part fax machine, this book brings the '90s vividly back to life, with all the insight and hindsight of the athletes who made the era so memorable. Finkel makes a strong case that 1996, like 1776, was revolutionary." —Steve Rushin, Special Contributor to Sports Illustrated and author of Sting-Ray Afternoons and Nights in White Castle Praise for The Life of Dad by Jon Finkel and Art Eddy “When I found out I was going to be a dad I thought, ‘Can I handle it? . . .’ Reading The Life of Dad will help you relax and know that it’s worked out for all these amazing dads, and it’ll work out for you.” —Mark Cuban, entrepreneur, Dallas Mavericks owner, Shark Tank star “I was happy to chat with the crew here at Life of Dad a while back and share all sides of fatherhood with them. There is a saying that it takes a village to raise a child. With this book you can use the wisdom from all of these dads to help you raise your children.”   —Jim Kelly, Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback “Dads don’t stop for directions, read assembly instructions, or consult the owner’s manual. But everything a dad needs to know is in here. The Life of Dad contains the collected wisdom, knowledge, and love of countless fathers.” —Steve Rushin, bestselling author, National Sportswriter of the Year winner Praise for The Athlete: Greatness, Grace and the Unprecedented Life of Charlie Ward by Jon Finkel “Charlie Ward is not only a once-in-a-lifetime athlete, he’s a once-in-a-lifetime person. The Athlete is the remarkable, page-turning biography his story deserves.” —Tony Dungy, Super Bowl Champion Head Coach Praise for Heart Over Height by 3x NBA Dunk Champion Nate Robinson, co-authored by Jon Finkel “From the very minute my orange and blue, my New York Knickerbockers drafted Nate Robinson, I was a big fan of his. I even wore his game-worn road blue #4 jersey at Madison Square Garden. . . . Us little guys gotta stick together. Please read and enjoy Nate’s journey. Once a Knick, always a Knick. (P.S. we should have never traded him in the first place.)” —Spike Lee, Filmmmaker, Da Republic of Brooklyn, NY
