Best Ever

This is the best sports almanac you'll ever find! It is full of interesting facts about every sport and all the information you'll ever want to know. I highly reccomend this book to anyone who likes sports.

It doesn't get much better than this...

I own a world almanac for knick-knack arguments and discussions, but I have found that when I am locked up in a heated sports debate, there is NO SUBSTITUTE for this book! It's the best! It's easy to read, and it has info on all of the sports that I care about (and even on some sports I could care less about!). It not only covers the pure stats of the games, but it also covers some facts about the arenas in which they are played! That, coupled with the in depth and far reaching historical material that it houses make this indespensible for the avid sports nut!

ESPN IS THE KING OF SPORTS

ESPN has shown the world once more that it is the beginning and end of sports information. Every sports fan should have this reference, as even the most avid fan will marvel at the breadth of knowledge contained in this must have publication.

Best sports publication available

The ESPN Sports Almanac is the most complete source of sports information on the planet. It has everything in it from baseball to badminton to the history of the soap box derby. There are other sports almanacs out there, but none comes close to measuring up. This book should be on the desk of every sports fan.

Hands-down, the best annual sports almanac you can buy.

After sticking with "Sports Illustrated" for a sports almanac for years, I made the switch to "ESPN/Information Please" for my 1998 choice. What a difference, and the 1999 version is no exception. Packed with every stat & history imaginable. Trust me, you won't be sorry. No bathroom should be without it!
