Customer Reviews

Great for Everyone!

I'm hardly a huge sports fan, but 30 minutes into picking up my boyfriend's copy I officially became an expert on everything from legendary home run calls to obscure poker terminology. This book rocks!

Information I never thought I needed to know!

Now that I have read this awesome book, I find that I was ignorant of some of the best and funniest trivia! Now I know what country MYA stands for in the Olympics and that Jason Varitek played in the Little League World Series and a Major League World Series. There is so much information that you never knew you needed to know! This compilation of well researched sports particulars is a must have for anyone who is a sports fan. A great gift for kids who like sports and like a quick and easy read. I am sending this book with my 15 year old nephew to camp this summer. I am sure he will be sharing the information in this book with all his bunkmates. This is also going to make a great Father's Day gift.

A Great Book for Camp!!

The perfect book to give kids who are going to summer camp. It'll keep them one step ahead of the counselors and their friends throughout the summer!!! Well done.

Great for the Sports Fanatic or Those that Love Sports Fanatics

Whether you know everything about sports or nothing this book is a great addition to your library. It gives you tons of information about everything you (or those you love) want to know about sports! It is a great way to play trivia (aka trick) those people who think they know everything about sports and show them they really don't! Once again Belsky proves he is one of the greatest modern day sports writers!

Even your girlfriend will like this sports book

Fantastic book filled with interesting, fun trivia. I'm not even a huge sports fan, but I couldn't put this book down. Some of the facts in this book are insanely hilarious and weird too (in a good way). If your boyfriend thinks he knows all there is to know about sports, I guarantee after he reads this book, he will be humbled.
