I have never watched a biography show (and I love A&E's "Biography") that has touched me quite as deeply as Sports Century. As a viewer, one really feels as though he or she has lived a little of the life that the athlete being profiled has lived. Each fall makes you sink a little. Each rise makes you feel better about yourself.
Recently, however, the show reached new heights. Watch the Shakespearian documentary on Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry. I have never seen a documentary as original and as poignant as this.
