  Against The World by Kerry Eggers and Dwight Jaynes   Released: January 1st, 1993 My 23rd book for 2026 was Kerry Eggers and Dwight Jaynes’ "Against The World."  I've always had an inclination for the Portland Trail Blazers.  They've always had this cool looking team, and their arena has a cool look to it.  Probably mentioned it before (Cause I would never repeat a story...) but when I was 6, I would watch SportsCenter every morning, and dream of one day buying a ticket, flying to Portland, and seeing the Trail Blazers play in their home arena.  Lo and behold, I live next to their city, and can go when I want to.
