5.0 out of 5 stars Just a great baseball trivia book., December 17, 1997

Of all the baseball trivia books that I have read, this has to be the best. Its questions are superb and run the gamut from being relatively easy to very hard. The book does not insult your intelligence nor does it make you never to want to read another baseball trivia book in the future. Just a great book. Mark Kanter

I remember Scott as a baseball trivia genius from our times in John Dewey HS in Brooklyn NY.. He'd always call in and win the Sportsphone trivia questions.. I was fascinated when I saw this book and realized who the editor was, I had to buy it.. It was well worth it.... Scott, If you ever read this, hope you remember Kevin who used to hang out with you in the lunchroom going over baseball stats and history... Good luck to you...
