Great Book!

This book was terrific. This same publisher also has "Baseball's Most Wanted 1 and 2 and World Series Most Wanted". These are terrific books. If you love baseball and football as much as I do, then you wont regret purchasing any of the titles I listed above. You can buy them used and they still look great. Check out Thrift Books or Motor City Books. I do a lot of ordering from them and I have never been disappointed with their service. They sell used books for a great prices and the books look terrific when they arrive.

What Fun!

If you are a trivia freak, or a football widow, you'll love this book. Full of weird annecdotes about the game and it's players, it will have you laughing by the hour. And for those football widows - this one will give you something to talk to your spouse about when the game is in commercial!
