Book Description
In 1946, the Cleveland Rams, having just won the NFL championship, moved to sunny Los Angeles. The LA Rams experienced immediate success, making four NFL Championship Game appearances in six years—one of which they won. From Los Angeles, the team moved to St. Louis in 1995, only to return to Los Angeles again in 2016. Regardless of the city or the stadium that they’ve called home, the Rams have compiled a myriad of memorable moments and at times have drawn record crowds. In Game of My Life Rams, award-winning sportswriter Jay Paris offers accounts of many of these moments, through the words of the players who experienced them firsthand—as members of the Los Angeles and St. Louis–based teams. Those legends featured include Roman Gabriel, Jim Hardy, Vince Ferragamo, Jack Youngblood, Kurt Warner, Eric Dickerson, Tom Mack, Nolan Cromwell, Fred Dryer, Henry Ellard, Johnny Hekker, and more. A great gift for any fan of Rams football—past or present!

Book Description
In 2016 the Rams left St. Louis for Los Angeles--having departed L.A. for St. Louis in 1995--and caused much heartbreak among fans. NFL teams are notorious for decamping to more profitable markets and the Rams' history of opportunistic moves goes back to 1946, when they left Cleveland, their original hometown, where fans had cheered them to a championship a month earlier. The move to L.A. from Cleveland shocked the NFL and shook up its power structure. It also jolted the all-white league into reintegration, prepared the way for the Browns, and made the Rams the only NFL champs ever to have spent the following season in a different city. This is the story of how the Rams went from a home-grown Ohio team funded by local businessmen to the first major-league franchise on the West Coast, and how their departure jumpstarted a chain of events in Cleveland that continues to this day.
