TAKE THEM OUT OF THE BALL GAMEāPLEASE!
From star running back Bryon āBamā Morrisās interesting (and totally illegal) sideline career to the 1950s Kansas City Aās sneaky relationship with the New York Yankees; from French golfer Jean Van de Veldeās epic choke on 18 at the 1999 British Open to the infamous Cleveland Ten-Cent Beer Night riot of 1974; from Hungaryās bloody 1956 Olympic water polo match with the Soviet Union to the definitive analysis of basketball coach Larry Brownās sartorial evolution and hoops maven Mike Fratelloās hair devolutionāif itās bad and sports related, then itās likely in The Worst of Sports.
An uproarious collection of the most controversial and regrettable moments in major pro and college athletics, with a sprinkling of the obscure, The Worst of Sports is a compendium of abject failure, harebrained decision-making, avarice, and rank stupidityāin other words, the stuff that some athletes, and fans, are best at.
Whether youāre a casual fan or a face-painting zealot, youāll find plenty to root for (or against) in The Worst of Sports.
āOriginal and funny, this book will entertain the pessimist that lurks in all of us who donāt root for the Yankees.ā
āMike Greenberg, author of Why My Wife Thinks Iām an Idiot
