With comprehensive sections on 17 major sports - including stats, records, and incisive essays by the preeminent sports magazine's top writers - Sports Illustrated 2000 Sports Almanac justifies its own record as the best-selling work in its field. In nearly 900 pages, this hefty yet portable reference covers everything that happened in the year in sports, from football to figure skating and boxing to basketball.
In addition to the hard data and player photos and profiles, this year's edition has added cross-era player analysis to the lineup, providing normalization tables that allow fans to compare the century's greatest athletes. Sports Illustrated writers keep things lively with features such as "They Said It" and "Scorecard" that make it not only an invaluable source of information but an entertaining read.
