Who comprised the most productive pairs in the history of professional
team sports? Joe Montana and Jerry Rice of the San Francisco 49ers?
Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen of the Chicago Bulls? What about the
prolific hockey tandem of Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier? And that
all-time great New York Yankees twosome of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig
certainly can't be excluded. Using various selection
criteria—including longevity, level of statistical compilation,
impact on one’s team, and overall place in history—The 50 Most
Dynamic Duos in Sports History attempts to ascertain which twosome
truly established itself as the most dominant tandem in the history of
the four major professional team sports: baseball, basketball,
football, and hockey. Arranged and ranked by sport, this work takes an
in-depth look at the careers of these 100 men, including statistics,
quotes from opposing players and former teammates, and career
highlights. Finally, all 50 duos are placed in an overall ranking.
Covering every decade since the 1890s, this book will find widespread
appeal among sports fans of all generations. And with photographs of
many of the tandems, The 50 Most Dynamic Duos in Sports History is a
wonderful addition to any sports historian’s collection.
