In Last of a BReed, award-winning journalist Billy Reed shares a behind-the-scenes look at his career in sports writing, nearly six decades in the making. One of the most accomplished journalists in Kentucky's history, Billy thrived during the golden era of sports writing, when the Louisville Courier-Journal published four editions every night before the internet changed the world. From his first job as Henry Clay High School beat reporter for the Lexington Herald-Leader in 1959, Billy covered all the major sporting events -- the World Series, Super Bowl, NCAA Final Four, Triple Crown races, major golf tournaments, and big college football games -- and developed personal relationships with the biggest sports personalities -- Muhammad Ali, Bob Knight, and Adolph Rupp, to name a few.
