description: In this alternately hilarious and insightful account, named a Best Book of 1998 by Publishers Weekly , &gt;b&gt;Sports Illustrated writer Steve Rushin uses the lens of sports to come to a deeper understanding of America.On the eve of his thirtieth birthday, Steve Rushin decided to revisit the twin pursuits of his epic car trips and an unhealthy obsession with sports. So he jumped into his fully alarmed Japanese S.U.V. and drove to American sports shrines for a year, everywhere from Larry Bird's boyhood home in French Lick, Indiana, to the cornfield just outside of Dyersville, Iowa, where Field of Dreams was filmed. Now in paperback, Road Swing is the story of his journey.
