{"product_id":"9781461734741","title":"Play-by-Play: Tales from a Sportscasting Insider","description":"Both a memoir and a \"how-to\" for anyone who aspires to a career in broadcast journalism, particularly sports, this book calls on Mercer's vast experience and name recognition in Texas to give an insider's view of everything from play-by-play to interviewing a celebrity athlete. Mercer began his career as the voice of professional wrestling in Dallas in the 1950s, and later went on to be a play-by-play announcer for teams ranging from the Dallas Cowboys to the Chicago White Sox, in addition to a brief \"hard news\" stint at the time of the Kennedy assassination in Dallas in 1963.","brand":"Taylor Trade Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143707967728,"sku":"9781461734741","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781461734741_p0.jpg?v=1769890411","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781461734741","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
