This review is from: ESPN Sports Almanac 2004: The Definitive Sports Reference Book (Paperback)

I love sports, and when I need to get the facts on sports, I turn to a number of sources, including this informative book. Ever wanted to know who has hit the most homeruns in baseball? It's in this book! Want to know who has won the most NASCAR races? Get the book! Do you like to read about the history of the Summer and Winter Olympics, as well as look at the more popular stats from them? Get the book! How about hockey, basketball, football, golf, or boxing records? If any of these tickle your fancy, well you know... It goes into detail about a variety of sports and well documents interesting facts about them. But if you are into the big 4 (baseball football hockey and basketball) you're more than likely going to fall in love with this book. It covers season stats as well as all time statistics. Ever get into an argument with friends over a sports topic? Well unless it's a really off the wall topic, this publication can end the argument. Now I know WHY the Yankees bragged about, now I understand why Richard Petty is the real king of racing, now I know why movies were made about the Dallas Cowboys. It's because they all kick rear!!! If you want something that will entertain you and inform you, If you are looking for something that would make a great gift for the sports fan in your life, it's hard to beat the ESPN Almanac!!!
