Wow! I loved this book
I never do really read books, also ones that are long and have small print like this one. But I was really into it. It explained everything I needed to know about one of my favorite baseball players. Of course I bought this book at the Cooperstown hall of fame where the book should be rewarded a plaque and where A-Rod will go. I read it and understood as a reader that preffers non-fiction, in 5 daysI finsished it on the way to Six flags great adventure. ... Read more

Product Description
Included in this collection are over 60 satiric pieces on the sports issues and personalities of the day, including stories on A-Rod, Michael Phelps, Lance Armstrong, Manny Ramirez, Tonya Harding, Tom Brady, Tiger Woods, and a host of other headline superstars with ego and agents. With rapier wit and unrelenting parody, the quick barbs of Russo skewer some of the worst foibles and deplorable venalities of the modern athlete. Drawing on Shakespeare, Dickens, Aesop, Longfellow, and Swift, these nasty essays are not your usual sports page items or tabloid tidbits, but they are arsenic filled cookies. ... Read more
