There are few things more mystical than a winning streak in sports. There’s a momentum to it, and after a few wins you have this unyielding faith that the breaks are destined to go your way. Families have winning streaks, too, and the Langs had an all-timer. All these years later, Phil tries to dissect the alchemy behind their greatest streak.

Great family, mostly average athletes. Honorable Mention is the funny and heartwarming sports family memoir from Phil Lang, the youngest of six.

For most of his life, Phil was certain his was an untouchable family. A big, Catholic, American sports family, and that their good fortune was inertia. Now, as each of the kids builds lives of their own, he can't help but wonder if they've begun the unknowing of each other. How do you keep the family together? The question keeps pushing Phil to memories formed around sports. Sports stories, family stories—they’re the same thing to him.
