5.0 out of 5 stars A fun, fast read filled with interesting Braves facts and feats!, February 6, 2010

This review is from: Atlanta Braves IQ: The Ultimate Test of True Fandom (Paperback)

I was so impressed with Tucker Elliot's ATLANTA BRAVES IQ and NEW YORK YANKEES IQ books that he inspired me to write a MILWAUKEE BREWERS IQ book. Elliot's intense, interactive approach to baseball trivia is sure to test readers while holding their interest. The questions start at the easier "Spring Training" level and get progressively more difficult until the "October Baseball" test reveals whether readers' knowledge earns them "walk-off bomb to win Game 7 and Series MVP Honors" status or their poor performance results in fans calling them "the 'new' Bill Buckner." Read this book and you will quickly find out where you rank in the records book.

This review is from: Atlanta Braves IQ: The Ultimate Test of True Fandom (Paperback)

Thanks to TBS way-back-when, the Atlanta Braves are America's baseball team -- but if you love baseball period, regardless of which team you pull for, this book has something to offer you. It's full of 250 rich questions that tell the story behind the trivia -- lots of history here, from every era of the franchise and all the big names. No matter when you fell in love with the Braves or even if you're a baseball fan who was glad the 14-year run of division titles ended, this is a great book of baseball history and trivia and I highly recommend it.

This review is from: Atlanta Braves IQ: The Ultimate Test of True Fandom (Paperback)

From Boston to Milwaukee to their current residence of Atlanta, the Braves franchise is rich in history, and this wonderful trivia book will challenge even the most diehard fan. Written by Tucker Elliot (who also did the New York Yankees version of this test) in a most engaging manner, any fan of the game will enjoy testing their knowledge of Braves baseball.

The regular season is about ready to begin, and I can't think of a better way for any fan to get in the swing of things than grabbing a copy of this entertaining and informative test of "true fandom". You'll love it.
