Bill watched and listened to “The Greatest” and then wrote a revealing newspaper column that uncovered the real Ali, the man behind the mask. During training camp, Ali’s trainer, Angelo Dundee, told Bill “tomorrow, don’t forget to bring what you have written about Ali. He looks forward to reading your stories every night.” In the late 1990s, Bill began a downhill spiral that was fueled by alcohol addiction. On July 4, 2000, he stood at death’s door and refused to turn the knob. Miraculously, he was given a second chance at life and is making the most of it. This book began with handwritten notes being scrawled on scraps of paper in the a Bronx, New York veterans hospital. Bill wanted his grandchildren to know who their “Poppy” is and was. He chronicles his life in a compelling and humorous way, describing childhood escapades through military service in southeast Asia and on to his marriage. Later he shows you his arrival at the sports desk and beyond as you share his incredible journey.This real life story will make you laugh, make you cry and tug at your heartstrings. You will see a real life story through the eyes of an award-winning journalist. The messages are simple. Nostalgia is healthy, overwhelming odds can be overcome and dreams do come true. Bill’s battle to survive has touched countless athletes, parents, coaches and fans. Now he touches you with his down to earth account of what a fight for survival feels like. Like Muhammad Ali, Bill Tangen had his glove raised in victory.
