I can only imagine how puffed up my husband must have been the night a sportswriter sitting next to him at a pro fight leaned over and asked if he was a former boxer. "Why, yes," Rick replied, sitting a little straighter in his chair. "How did you know?" He figured his fellow scribe had seen him in action back in the '70s, when he was a pretty good junior welterweight fighting out of Minneapolis. ...more
