TAKE THEM OUT OF THE BALL GAMEâPLEASE!
From star running back Bryon âBamâ Morrisâs interesting (and totally illegal) sideline career to the 1950s Kansas City Aâs sneaky relationship with the New York Yankees; from French golfer Jean Van de Veldeâs epic choke on 18 at the 1999 British Open to the infamous Cleveland Ten-Cent Beer Night riot of 1974; from Hungaryâs bloody 1956 Olympic water polo match with the Soviet Union to the definitive analysis of basketball coach Larry Brownâs sartorial evolution and hoops maven Mike Fratelloâs hair devolutionâif itâs bad and sports related, then itâs 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 stupidityâin other words, the stuff that some athletes, and fans, are best at.
Whether youâre a casual fan or a face-painting zealot, youâll find plenty to root for (or against) in The Worst of Sports.
âOriginal and funny, this book will entertain the pessimist that lurks in all of us who donât root for the Yankees.â
âMike Greenberg, author of Why My Wife Thinks Iâm an Idiot
