This review is from: ESPN Sports Almanac 2006 (Paperback)

I should know, I own it!!! I have grabbed these books since 1998, and they are superb. The only thing I do not like about the ESPN Sports Almanac, is that sometimes, there is a misprint, but it is rare. This is a superb book for anyone who wants to know the all time and previous year records in baseball, football, hockey, nascar racing, formula racing, golf, tennis, and basketball. But these sports are not the only ones covered in this extra thick publication. You will get info on Olympic sports including gymnastics, bobsledding, skiing, track & field, etc. The book covers the previous year in sports headlines, It has tons of information on off the wall sports like badminton and rugby, and it comes from the favorite sports people of America, ESPN. Enough said!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is it! Statistics are the mother's milk of sports, February 8, 2006

And here it all is, in one handy, well organized alamanac. Football, Baseball, Basketball, Racing and more!

I think this is a slightly better almanac than the one issued by Sports Illustrated, as ESPN has become the definitive source for sports and stats.

No need to call the guys who know it all - all the facts are right there with your book, right at your fingertips.
