- catalog abstract ""Beyond the Game brings together fifteen of Smith's greatest stories, from groundbreaking profiles of international stars like Mike Tyson and Magic Johnson, to intimate looks at lesserknown athletes whose lives are driven by the thrill of competition and the love of a game. There is "Damned Yankee," the heartbreaking story of John Malangone, who seemed destined to succeed Yogi Berra as the Yankees' starting catcher - until his career was destroyed by the crushing weight of a childhood trauma that continued to haunt him. "Someone to Lean On" is the inspirational story of an extraordinary retarded man named Radio and the South Carolina high school football team that has adopted him for over thirty years. "Shadow of a Nation" tells of a Crow Indian community's intense passion for basketball - and how former high school star Jonathan Takes Enemy must struggle to escape the tragic history of his tribe as he seeks a place in the world outside the reservation."--Jacket.".
