1955 In Sport: A Year Like None Other - Introduction by Dave AndersonIt is widely remembered as the year the Brooklyn Dodgers finally defeated the New York Yankees in the World Series, but 1955 was so much more than that. It was a watershed 12 months in the history of sports: a year the world was introduced to high school senior Wilt Chamberlain, All American Bill Russell and PGA rookie Arnold Palmer; a year Mickey Mantle was booed by Yankee fans, while, across town, Willie Mays solidified his superstar status and Duke

It is widely remembered as the year the Brooklyn Dodgers finally defeated the New York Yankees in the World Series, but 1955 was so much more than that. It was a watershed 12 months in the history of sports: a year the world was introduced to high school senior Wilt Chamberlain, All American Bill Russell and PGA rookie Arnold Palmer; a year Mickey Mantle was booed by Yankee fans, while, across town, Willie Mays solidified his superstar status and Duke Snider became a champion; a year heavyweight champ Rocky Marciano stepped proudly into retirement and Sugar Ray Robinson stormed gallantly out of it; a year Doak Walker won another NFL scoring title-and quit; a year Maurice "Rocket" Richard lost an NHL scoring title-and ignited a riot; a year the world's top tennis player, Pancho Gonzalez, couldn't find a match; and a year Bill Vukovich set out to win an unprecedented third consecutive Indianapolis 500 but lost his life instead. Half a century later, 1955 in Sport: A Year Like None Other celebrates the people and events of that remarkable year in an anthology of outstanding writing and photographs that originally appeared in SPORT magazine. Each story stands independently as a portrait of a champion and collectively as a snapshot of a remarkable year in sports-and SPORT.-

Very comfy
Size: X-Large, Color: White
I'm a size US Mens 14 with huge calves. Finding comfortable crew socks can be somewhat difficult. These are extremely comfortable, very stretchy and soft. Very worth the price.

I use these exclusively for when I'm hiking, cycling and walking ( exercising )
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
5.7.2019 Update: I have probably five packs of 3 of these socks. Can't explain it but recent pairs I've been using have lasted longer than previous two packs ( 6 socks )... So I'm going to get some more... They are my #1 go to sock for cycling, hiking, climbing, walking ( serious, training, speed, distance )... 10.30.19: I use these exclusively for when I'm hiking, cycling anqd walking ( exeqrcising )... They are light, comfortable, keep feet dry, cool & comfortable... They don't shift around on feet. They stay put once put on and running, climbing or cycling shoes are put on and laced up or ratched... I do a lot of hill climbing and also use on terrain where there's lots of long periods ( hours ) going up & hours going down... They don't appear to be very durable, get holes in toe or holes in heels, but 3 pack is relatively inexpensive so I continue to buy them. I do not use them for everyday casual wear because they would wear out very quickly compared to other similar sockets...
