This book is a must-read for sports addicts who consider Sportscenter a can’t-miss part of your daily ritual. Chris Russo is a NY sports radio host, and the book gives his opinion to arguments like “Mays or Mantle?”, “Greatest Baseball Team Ever?”, or “Which was the more difficult feat: Williams’ .406 or Dimaggio’s 56 games?” If you could care less about questions like these, well, you’re not a normal American male. You also probably live in a Blue State.

This was not as good as I thought it would be. He definitely picked some controversial subjects, but I didn't think the arguments flowed very well. It was a real tough read, but still interesting enough to keep me reading through to the end.

A nice book to start a debate with your friends about sports. Fun to read and you don't need to sit down to read the whole book in one sitting. Read one question a night.
