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 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.
