註釋This ninth volume of the "Biography Today Sports" series is intended to appeal to young readers in a format they can enjoy reading and readily understand. Each alphabetically-arranged sketch provides at least one picture of the individual profiled, and bold-faced rubrics lead the reader to information on birth, youth, early memories, education, first jobs, marriage and family, career highlights, memorable experiences, hobbies, and honors and awards. Each entry ends with a list of easily accessible sources designed to lead the student to further reading on the individual and a current address. Obituary entries are also included, written to provide a perspective on the individual's entire career. The featured athletes are: Tori Allen (American rock climber); Layne Beachley (Australian professional surfer); Sue Bird (American professional basketball player); Fabiola da Silva (Brazilian professional aggressive in-line skater); Randy Johnson (American professional baseball player); Jason Kidd (American professional basketball player); Tony Stewart (American professional race car driver); Michael Vick (American professional football player); Ted Williams (American professional baseball player); and Jay Yelas (American professional fisherman).
