5.0 out of 5 stars Irresistable read for sports addicts, December 2, 2002

WOW! What a fun time I had reading this, and I'm neither a sports nut nor a lawyer (though I did manage to learn alot about both). I can only imagine that those who are sports crazed and/or legal beagles would be even more impressed with Frederick Day's amazing collection of anecdotes.

I bought Fred Day's book for my husband, the sports nut. He loved it! He encouraged me to read it and I hesitated, since I only half-heartedly pay attention to whatever game-de-jour he has on TV. Well, for once he was right! I don't know that much about sports, but I found this book fascinating. You'll love Day's well-written and compelling stories. It's a look at sports from another angle...one that even I could relate to. Who'd have thought a book by a lawyer about sports could be so interesting, amusing, and memorable! I would highly recommend this book--to sportsfans or not!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate Guide to the Law in Sports, November 5, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Clubhouse Lawyer: The Sports Fan's Guide to Life and the Law (Paperback)

I found the author's writing to be clear and concise, easy to understand, no legalese. The author's subtle humor and well-researched documentation of both little-known and well-known sports facts, legal manipulations involved, and legal precedents make this compilation of legal cases such an easy, pleasurable read that even those who thought they knew all there was to know in the sports world will be amazed, surprised, and enlightened. A great book for anyone who loves sports trivia. Knowledge of law not a prerequisite. Think Christmas gift!
