The follow-up to "And the Crowd Goes Wild", this gift from Bruce Barth is a fine compilation of famous broadcast sports events, with two accompanying CDs of the broadcasts. Included are Jackie Robinson's breaking the baseball racial barrier, Willie Mays and "The Catch", Pete Rose's hits record, Mike Tyson biting Evander Holyfield's ear twice, and many others. A lot of fun. ( )
