Description

The Greatest Tennis Match of the 20th Century changed America and the life of a young boy, forever.

Millions of people watched "The Battle of the Sexes" in 1973, but few knew more about the historic tennis match than a boy. While the world's eyes were focused on Bobby Riggs, the self-proclaimed "kind of male chauvinist pigs," and Billie Jean King, the defender of feminism, Richard Muscio saw the match through the headlines of the day--headlines he had carefully clipped and saved as Bobby Riggs' scrapbook maker.

A far cry from your grade school history book, So, What's Your Play? shows how life propelled Muscio to overcome blindness and birthed inspired running events.
