Rooney: A Sporting Life
Rob Ruck
Born to an Irish Catholic working-class family on the Northside of Pittsburgh, Art Rooney (1901-88) dabbled in semipro baseball and boxing before discovering that his real talent lay not in playing sports but in promoting them. This book shows how Rooney saw professional football through the Depression, World War II, the ascension of TV, and the development of the NFL.
