Tennis great Arthur Ashe said it well: "The purest joy in life comes with trying to help others." This belief is also the motivating factor underlying the stories collected in Dream Team: Saints and Gentle Souls from the World of Sports.

This book hones in on some of the most uniquely talented and compassionate individuals the sports world has ever known. On a decade-by-decade basis, starting with the 1890s and finishing up in 2007, Dream Team: Saints and Gentle Souls from the World of Sports tells the stories of 125 individuals ranging from sharpshooting legend Annie Oakley to baseball's Jackie Robinson to football's Pat Tillman. Uplifting and encouraging, it keeps the focus firmly on the character of these uniquely talented and giving individuals and features coaches, sports journalists, and team owners in addition to athletes.

With his faith in God and his love of sportsmanship abundant for all to see, author/attorney Frederick J. Day tells the fascinating and true stories of individuals who realized that what really matters in life occurs well beyond the court or field.
