Author Description

Dick Vitale, famed ESPN sportscaster wrote: "The many stories contained in this book will endear THE HAWK to you forever! It is awesome baby, with a Capital A!" Sports Illustrated rated the Hawk as "The Hardest Working Mascot in Sports". Since Jim Brennan created the Hawk in 1955, the 35 young men and women who have worn the Hawk feathers have been at the center of basketball life at St. Joseph's University, from Dr. Jack Ramsay's inspiring teams of the '50s and '60s through Phil Martelli's amazing "Perfect" season of 2003 when "tiny" St. Joe's had the #1 ranked team in the country. "The Hawk Will Never Die" has been a rallying call to the spirit of Saint Joe's for almost 60 years...this book provides exciting insight and stories from all of those years. Bound in hardcover and full-color throughout with scores of photos (new and old) it will take you back to yesteryear...and this last year!
