This book is a fun and practical guide to watching baseball, football and basketball for wanna-be fans who don’t know a punt from a pick-off, a scramble from a slide, or a fast break from a fumble. (See page 74 in the book for info on this pic.)

It includes 161 photos and a whole bunch of info but it’s never overwhelming and it doesn’t delve too deeply. It’s fun, agile and surprising, just like sports. (See page 13 in the book for info on all the data on this scoreboard.)

With a very specific focus on what observers see and hear while watching sports, the book takes readers through the silly things, the obvious things, the oh-my-gosh-what-is-that-guy-doing things that mystify non-sports fans and delight the rest of us. (See page 99 in the book for info on what's happening on this photo.)
