Synopsis

"Touch 'Em All: My Life and Career at Sports Illustrated" is the story of Larry Keith and his fascinating job chronicling legendary athletes and championship teams, as a writer and editor. Keith began his award-winning journey to SI and the North Carolina Journalism Hall of Fame when he was 14 years old, writing a game account in a spiral notebook after listening to a Tar Heels basketball game on the radio. Less than a year after graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill, he was hired by Sports Illustrated, the pinnacle of sports publications. In his prolific, 34-year career, he climbed the ladder from reporter, to writer, to editor, to the head of three Time Inc. development magazines, to editorial projects director and won three Time Inc. President's Awards. Along the way, he encountered an actor stage-named Larry Keith and a bad actor who stole that name (and wound up in prison). Join him as you experience the excitement, challenges and, yes, a few disappointments, in this entertaining behind-the-scenes memoir about sports and the publishing industry.
