A review of Eli Gold:From Peanuts To The Pressbox

Eli Gold knew what he wanted to be when he was just a kid. A sports broadcaster. And he took advantage of every opportunity that came his was to reach his goal.

This is Eli's story. Growing up in Brooklyn, skipping class, working at Madison Square Garden. Eli knew he had to make things happen if he was going to work in sports. He had an understanding mother, and great idols and mentors that helped him along the way.

There are some great sports stories provided, from the world of major and minor league hockey, minor league baseball, college and professional football, and NASCAR. Eli Gold has been here, there, and everywhere during his career as broadcaster, play-by-play, statistician, and many other positions.

Sports fans will find this to be a great read, full of interesting stories, funny, sad, and entertaining. A bit jumpy at times, but overall, I was thoroughly impressed.

Thank you and enjoy.

So much to say, so much to say, so much to say...

I'm reading "Real Church" by Larry Crabb right now. I think I'm going to like it, because I can see myself relating to it. The only thing about that statement is, I don't think it's that I so much relate to Larry, but that I can find myself relating to just about any book I read or have read. I've only gotten through the first 2 chapters, and already I find myself saying 'I totally get where this guy is coming from, I totally get and agree with what he is saying!' The problem is, at this point, I don't really know where he is going, and what he is fully saying. I'm a premature agree-er.

my very first, and maybe signs of things to come!

so, I'm a blogger now. I don't know what that means, except that maybe facebook and twitter cannot contain me. I tend to ramble, which is probably good for something like this. I don't know where tis will go from here. time will tell. cheers!
