Event Details

Dan Coughlin serves up another round of great stories . . . Meet the nutty sports team owner who nearly killed his franchise with terrible trades (and some spectators with an ill-advised publicity stunt) . . . The adventurous Browns lineman who flew a bombing run in Korea (though he wasn’t a pilot!) and survived a gunshot wound—from his wife . . . The Indians slugger with the worst attitude in baseball—he didn’t just menace pitchers; he menaced everyone . . . The brilliant and relentless tennis promoter who stole the Davis Cup . . . And many others—including Victor, the wrestling bear! In this third lively collection, Dan Coughlin tells yet more true tales about the most colorful characters he’s known in four decades covering sports for Cleveland TV and newspapers. Turn to any page and you’ll probably learn something new—and get a laugh out of it, too. Dan Coughlin has covered Cleveland sports for more than four decades, as a sportswriter for The Plain Dealer (1964-1982) and on WJW-TV 8 (since 1983). His columns also appeared in the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram, Medina Gazette, Lake County News-Herald, Painesville Telegraph and other newspapers. He was twice named Ohio sportswriter of the year and was honored with an Emmy award. He traveled with the Browns and Indians, and covered some of the biggest college football games of the 20th century, including five major bowl games. He was at ringside for several world championship fights as well as the Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier series. He covered 17 Indianapolis 500s and several auto races in Europe. He lives in Rocky River, Ohio.
