American writers have been fascinated by the ring, both the primal contest inside the ropes and the crazy carnival world outside them. From neighborhood gyms and smoke-filled arenas to star-studded casinos and exotic locales, they have chronicled unforgettable stories about determination and dissipation, about great champions and punch-drunk has-beens, about colorful entourages and outrageous promoters, and, inevitably along the way, about race, class, and violence in America.

Between World War I, the Black Sox scandal, and a dearth of home runs, many people thought that 1920 would be the beginning of the end of baseball. Sure, George Herman Ruth had excelled as a pitcher for the Red Sox and had established himself as a slugger, but one player -- any player -- competing in Boston certainly was not enough to save America's pastime.

This book argues that soccer offers us the possibility of manageable doses of self-elected madness--a madness that is essential for a sane life. For the para...
