An "undergrown, inept, suicidally eager kid" finds triumph in a gym-class game of Bombardment. A runner starts a race "like a cheetah on fire"-and is shocked to see his opponents fly past him. A girl tries to set her school's high jump record, only to end up famous for a different-and embarrassing-reason. In this collection of short tales, eight authors remember pivotal sports moments from their childhoods.
