As Baby Boomers (born between 1946 and 1965) reach their golden years, they reminisce about a unique time in sports history. Born just after World War II, this generation experienced the first wave of live televised sports, transforming how fans engaged with their favorite athletes and teams. No longer reliant on radio broadcasts or newspapers, they witnessed iconic sports moments in real-time, forever shaping their love for the game.

In A Lifetime of Sports: A Baby Boomer’s Memoirs, author Chuck Spinner offers a heartfelt and humorous look at the unforgettable sports memories that defined his life—and the lives of countless others.
