Bustin' Balls: World Team Tennis 1974-1978, Pro Sports, Pop Culture and Progressive Politics

plus qu’un livre, c’est un objet « Pop Art » conceptuel! passionnant sur le sujet du WTT et qui fait revivre cette parenthèse expérimentale et passionnante du tennis des annees 70. les visuels, les couleurs sont là pour faire revivre ce psyche-tennis!

Excellent telling of yet another loony attempt to make an individual sport into a team sport. They played in 19,000-seat arenas but kept drawing 638. Sensitive readers may be distressed over seventies fashions and hairstyles.

I have read most defunct team and league histories and this one is a top 2 or 3. Well researched including chapters on each team that ever played with stories about ownership, players and match results. I saw several LA Strings matches at the Forum and this brought back great memories. I vividly remember the sad week late in 1978 when teams started folding and I never completely understood why until reading this book. Five stars! Thank you.

There were a tremendous amount off factual mistakes and some people in the pictures were improperly identified numerous times!
