Check out “Playing Through the Whistle” By S.L. Price

I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that S.L. Price of Sports Illustrated has a new book out from Grove Atlantic, Playing Through The Whistle: Steel, Football and an American Town. It’s the story of a steel town near Pittsburgh called Aliquippa and its high school football team and I was fortunate enough to be able to serve as a fact-checker on the book, creating all the citations you see in the book’s endnotes. Hopefully, it serves as an example of my research and fact-checking skills but aside from that, it’s also just a really good book, in my admittedly biased opinion.
