Talk on The Great Book of Seattle Sports Lists June 17, 2009

Join co-author Art Thiel as he discusses 'The Great Book of Seattle Sports Lists' and the Tacomans contained therein. With loyal fans supporting local major sports teams, such as the Seahawks, Mariners, and Seattle Sounders - plus a rabid fan base for University of Washington jocks - the region is a great place for a sports debate. Local sports-radio talker Mike Gastineau teams up with longtime sportswriters Steve Rudman and Art Thiel to bring area sports history to life with this provocative and enjoyable - not to mention debatable - book of lists. They also enlist list contributions by famous players, coaches, and Seattle celebrities including Mike Holmgren, Matt Hasselbeck, Ichiro Suzuki, George Karl, Pearl Jam, Kevin Calabro, Sir Mix-a-Lot, and more.

Art Thiel has been at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer since 1980 and a columnist since 1987. His book abut the Seattle Mariners, Out of Left Field, was a regional best-seller. He contributes articles to Playboy and The Sporting News, and commentaries for the Seattle NPR affiliate, KPLU-FM. He lives in Seattle.
