Just a walk in the park with Wild Thing !
I really enjoyed reading the questions and stories that Dave Brown used in this book.I aleays knew Mitch Williams was a fun and exciting baseball pitcher, but I had no idea how entertaining and funny his stories could be.I am so glad he decided to share some of the stories about his baseball days in this book.Using the format of Q&A, was ingenious and very, very entertaining!Thanks Mr Brown for the idea, and THANK YOU Mitchell, for another wild time !Love ya forever !!!!!!

A must have for all baseball enthusiasts!
Trivia at its best is challenging, informative and fun.This book is all three.The Baseball Triva Book is challenging enough for the most hardcore baseball trivialists yet has plenty of questions that "JoeFan"(like myself) can answer and find challenging.200 hundredquestions - multiple choice, matching and my favorite "Who amI?".Here the authors describe a player through career highlights andlowlights and asks the reader to identify him.I was truely disappointedwhen I reached the end this trivia book.A must have for all fans and forunder six bucks it's a no brainer! ...

Good book but...
I was looking for a book that wasn't a dummies book that had all the info I was looking for, this is a great book but not exactly what I was looking for. Instead of info and facts it gave me a quis and a million questions, the answers are on the back but in the end it doesn't tell you what you need to know to understand the game.

Basic
There have numerous books written about the sport of Baeball that have attempted to incorporate some of Sports lesser known facts. This book attempts to entertain and present facts that are intertwined with puzzles. The facts are rather basic and most of them are readily accessible to those who hav a basic understanding of the game. It is sorely lacking in the depth that fan of the Spoty would anticipate. This work id rarther basic and would be of interest to those who becming attuned to the finer points of the game and its history. Perhaps the finest books in this area are those put out by The Sporting News and they are strongly recommended. This Book is missable.

Great Trivia

THEY'RE YOUR TEAM.

Product Description
This is not your ordinary baseball trivia quiz book. Mike Attiyeh, semi-finalist in the annual trivia contest of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR), has assembled a unique collection of over 300 in-depth questions on topics as challenging as the game itself. From accomplishments on the field to anecdotes from the dugout, from baseball's earliest days to the 2001 major league season, Attiyeh presents an assortment of questions, including trivia, matching, fill-in-the-blanks, true or false, and fill-in-the-lineup. The quizzes are complemented by "Did You Know?" sections, which offer hundreds more facts, figures, and stats.

Who was the only player to play in all 44 New York Yankees–Brooklyn Dodgers World Series games?

Did you know that Ted Williams is the only distinguished major leaguer to participate in World War II and the Korean War?

Those up to the task can take the "Managerial Challenge": two full "seasons" of 162 questions. Answer enough correctly and qualify for the postseason and more rounds of play-off and World Series–caliber posers. Answer too few correctly and it's back to the minors!

What do Babe Ruth, Waite Hoyt, Wally Schang, Herb Pennock, Carl Mays, and Everett Scott have in common?

Did you know that Dizzy Dean once shut out the Boston Braves without taking a sign from his catcher?

But even novice fans, not up to the challenge, can enjoy the vast scope of material covered by Attiyeh. Who Was Traded for Lefty Grove? is a must-have for every fan of the game. ... Read more

A great book
A great book with one flaw: no index. It should be federally mandated that any baseball book of facts - especially one as well researched as this one - come with an index. Otherwise, the highest recommendation.

Intelligent fun
This is a book for the thinking fan.This is not some ordinary, garden variety baseball trivia book.Rather, this book is filled with an amazing amount of research and it is borne out in the facts and figures that accompany every "question" in the book.Each question serves in part as part of a trivia game, but also simply is the header for detailed discussions on a wide variety of very interesting topics related to the history of the game.A definite must-read for any baseball fan, and a great holiday gift! ...

Sports fans are numbers junkies; the more the merrier. What makes The Ultimate Book of Sports Listsso much fun is not just the traditional lists it includes--all-time home run leaders, careerleaders in free throws, most goals in a season--but its variations on thethemes and its willingness to get weird. The lists are exhaustive, informational, creativelyclever, and graphically appealing.Between the book's covers, you'll find such ephemera as the highest-paid football players,the values of individual sports franchises, top-grossing sports movies, America's top jockschools, and most popular participation sports. All sports are present and accounted for, somenaturally deeper than others, with the kinds of statistics that not only amaze friends and win barbets, but can keep you up all night flipping pages. ...

Where's the middle ground?
I originally picked up this book at the library along with a large stack of other books on professional wrestling in order to help me write a research paper.My biggest complaint was that most sections were so obscure that even the biggest wrestling fans would have trouble answering the questions.Other sections, however, were so ridiculously easy that my dad, who is a casual fan at best, was able to answer every one of them.It could have used another level of difficulty between the super easy and the super hard.

Pro wrestling may be fake, but this book isn't!
How much does Haystacks Calhoun weigh? Who defeated Buddy Rogers to win his first WWF Title? What caused Superstar Billy Graham to retire for good? Don't know - Then it time to read this book and find the answers.

Every sport, every subject in fact has some sort of trivia book and each isdesign to stump you. This book does that but at the same time itentertains, just like the Professional Wrestling entertains.

This book iswritten for a specific genre of people, as are most books we read. WhileProfessional Wrestling maybe considered fake, there is no doubt as to thereality of the people include in this book.

I have been a fan ofProfessional Wrestling for over 25 years, and yes it is fake, it's stillvery entertaining. The price tag won't put your wallet in a fullnelson and this book makes a great gift.

greatest book i ever read

Excellent source of info
I thought this book was great. It had trivia that was easy, and some trivia that was rather difficult. It is worth the price paid. I recommend this to any wrestling fan if they wish to increase their knowledge of thesport
