Book: Best Seat in the House: A Father

About the Book

Journalist Christine Brennan unfolds her life as a sports fan and sports writer. Her father introduced her to sports at an early age and she never looked back. As a child, she grew up rooting for the Toledo Mud Hens, Detroit Tigers and U-M Wolverines. She later went on to become the first full-time woman sportswriter at the Miami Herald. Brennan moved to the Washington Post to cover the Redskins and then the Olympics, and was offered a general sports column in USA Today. Her account is not only sprinkled with amusing anecdotes about learning to maneuver through a man's, but also a tribute to her father, who encouraged her love of sports.
