The sports almanac

I jusst finished reading this sports almanac. It gave me axcitement from the time i opened the book, to the time i closed it. It displayed so much information. Every reecord set in sports was in this book. They covered just about every sport thats played and i found it pretty interesting. I start in the baseball section and finished right throught the boxing section. In football they listed every catagory of records there are. From the college level to the professional level. It also had arena football, canadian football, and the xtreme football league ( the XFL). It listed every coach who was honored to be th coach of the year from the year of 1955 to 2000. The all-time list of rushing, receiving, passing, winning, losing, years coached most super bowl appearences and wins, etc. In college basketball it has the complete 2000-2001 season of stats. It also has the full bracket for the tournament. In the nba section, they have the all-time scoring, assist, rebounds, free throw shooting, three-point percentage, wining percentage lists visible. Boxing lovers aren't left out because in this almanac there are facts about the greatest heavyweights, cruiserweights, light heavyweights, super heavyweights, middleweights, jr. middleweights, lightweights, jr.lightweights, featherweights, jr. featherweights, branweights, jr. branweights, flywights, jr. flyweights, and minimum weights ever. Yes all of that.
