Customer Reviews

Fascinating and Interesting!

These are great sports incidents for any age level, adults and trivia buffs included!I had never heard of most of these strange happenings in sports.Not only football and baseball are in here, but also boxing, auto racing, hockey, golf and tennis. The "Miscellaneous" category is excellent and fascinating reading (includes the game of horseshoes and the biggest fish ever caught using a rod, reel, and hook)!Fun reading and family conversation material.
