Whaley book signing Friday
By JIM WALKER/Tribune Sports Editor
Thursday, August 21, 2008
COLUMBUS ? Together again.
The subject matter and the author will join together for a book signing Friday as Tyler Whaley and Ken Gordon visit Bob Linn Sporting Goods fro 3-to-5 p.m.
Gordon, a Columbus Dispatch sports writer, has released a book tracking the career of Whaley, the former Ironton Fighting Tiger and Ohio State Buckeye football player.
?I think Tyler?s story, really, is what makes it good, not anything I did,? said Gordon. ?His long climb to success at Ohio State is compelling reading. I didn?t realize until I spent hours interviewing him just how many obstacles he had faced, how many moments that might have caused others to quit.?
The 150-page paperback book is not in stores yet, but Gordon will have some copies of the book for sale when he conducts two book signings in the area.
Gordon will return for another signing from 3-6 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 19, at Waldenbooks in the Ashland, Ky., Town Center Mall.
Whaley signed a free agent contract with the Cincinnati Bengals but was released two weeks ago and plans to attend the book signing.
