In the mid'60s, Plimpton joined the Detroit Lions at their preseason camp as a 36yearold rookie quarterback wannabe, and stuck with the club through an intrasquad game before the paying public a month later. The result is a literary masterpiece about professional football that not only elevated the art of participatory journalism to an art form, but also remains one of the most insightful and hilarious books ever written on the game.The Detroit Lions agreed to permit Plimptonwearing Number 0to join them for four weeks of training camp, and to culminate his apprenticeship by calling a series of plays in an intrasquad game in Pontiac Stadium. No holds are barred in this memorable, onthefield look at football and how the professionals play it. Naturally, Plimpton didn't make it as a football hero; he barely affords himself a dignified account of his performance on the field, which is just as well. What remains is an enduring classic of professional football as it looks to a firststring writer trying out as a laststring quarterback.
