Unprecedented access to the iconoclastic and controversial Al Davis
In 1966, Al Davis arrived as a general partner and part owner of the Oakland Raiders and demanded only one thing: excellence. He transformed an AFL also-ran into the vaunted Silver and Black, challenging the old-world standards of professional football with his aggressive vertical passing game and bold philosophy.
In Just Win, Baby: The Al Davis Story, Murray Olderman, an acclaimed sportswriter and Davis' longtime friend, gives a never-before-seen glimpse of this trailblazer, a peek behind the curtain at the inner workings of Al Davis. Davis gave Olderman unparalleled access before he passed away in 2011 and included in the revelations are:
With a treasure trove of previously untold anecdotes, personal reminiscences, and highlights of Davis's leadership of the Raiders as professional football became America's premier spectator sport, Just Win, Baby chronicles the major impact this maverick owner had-not only on professional football but also on American sports.
