Description
Nonfiction. Sports. Photography. Foreword by Timber Jim Serrill. From the writers at Prost Amerika comes a full color coffee-table book on the Portland Timbers historic run to the 2015 MLS Cup. From the uniquely quirky perspective of Prost Amerika, Cup Bound and Crowned looks back at the moments that defined the 2015 season. Read memorable stories about Portland players, fans, and events surrounding the Columbus final. It's got a wedding too, a message from Jorge Villafana to Portland, and the inside story of how Prost and Timber Jim accidentally started the drive to get the log to Columbus. With quotes from a wide variety of the good, the great and the available in Portland, it has something to please the historical collector as well as those who love Portland's uniqueness. Written by contributions from Prost Amerika's award nearly-winning team of Portland beat writers, as well as a BBC journalist, and pages of photos from beat photographers like Diego Diaz, Mark Hoffman, and Mark Murray.
