With loyal fans supporting their major sports teams in the Seahawks (NFL), Mariners (MLB)—plus a rabid fan base for University of Washington jocks—Seattle is a great place for a sports debate. Local sports-radio talker Mike Gastineau teams up with longtime sportswriters Steve Rudman and Art Thiel to bring Seattle sports history to life with this provocative and enjoyable—not to mention debatable—book of lists. They also enlist list contributions by famous players, coaches, and Seattle celebrities including Mike Holmgren, Matt Hasselbeck, Ichiro Suzuki, George Karl, Pearl Jam, Kevin Calabro, Sir Mix-a-Lot, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great trip down memory lane for Seattle sports fans,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Great Book of Seattle Sports Lists (Great Book of Sports Lists) (Paperback)
A very quick and entertaining read that recaps some great memories from the Seattle sports scene. Some I'd heard before and enjoyed reading again - some were totally new. The guest authors also make this a fun way to see events from a different view.I read and passed along to my brothers/Dad who also went through it quickly and enjoyed it. Thanks to the Tacoma News Tribune who mentioned this in one of their sports columns.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Awesome, a great book for all!,
This review is from: The Great Book of Seattle Sports Lists (Great Book of Sports Lists) (Kindle Edition)
This is a great book for anyone living in Seattle or a fan of Seattle sports. You can recognise all the people, places, and events in this book and learn some new things. I am eleven and I can, too!
3.0 out of 5 stars
A Must for the Seattle Sports Fan... but it's a book of lists,
By Max Waugh (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Great Book of Seattle Sports Lists (Great Book of Sports Lists) (Paperback)
I certainly think any Washington/Seattle sports fan would enjoy this trip down memory lane, despite a generally depressing sports history. The overall research by the authors and anecdotes from guest contributors are excellent. There are several "oh yeah, forgot about that" moments to read about, as well as plenty of facts from the first half of the 20th century most of us never even knew.Still, it's not perfect. It's a book of lists, which can only be so engrossing. And in order to fill the book out, the same characters and stories are repeated from time to time, as is the rant against those who criticized Schultz/Bennett for the Sonics fiasco (I can hear Gas's voice every time I read those parts ;). A year later certain lists are already outdated, which is natural when it comes to such a topic. Hopefully the authors will revisit their lists and publish an updated edition down the road. Overall a nice stocking stuffer and bathroom book.
