Fun, fun, fun

This book has a lot of real neat sports related trivia. Could probably stump some people with some of the info FUN reading.

Great for sports fans, especially kids

Has every noteworthy sports fact and the fun facts are great too, something other sports trivia books didn't have. the design/layout also makes it easy to read and find a specific topic.

Not only for American sports fans

For more than two months, I've gone around this book, Reference.com, YouTube, iTunes Store, Google Maps, a variety of English dictionaries, etc., and had LOTS of fun. To not a very sporty Japanese reader like myself, or possibly American youngsters, this cute little book gives beyond sports trivia the knowledge of sports legends, some idea for American culture, the fifth meaning of an English word, etc. And my copy, a bit personalized with post-it glossaries, will provide me with the target list of my Tsutaya (Japanese Blockbuster) explorations for another two months or so, I'm sure.

I did not know that

Very entertaining. Good coffee table book and great way to impress your friends with obscure sports trivia. If you were expecting War and Peace, then you misread the description.
