Stupid Sports, by Leland Gregory

Sometimes you can tell a book by the cover.  Leland Gregory continues his habit of collecting the stupid, the little-known, and the amusing in his newest book, Stupid Sports.  Of course he includes some great Yogi Berra quotes, and there may be a few stories you've heard before, but Gregory has gathered silly stories and inanities from around the world of sports that I can guarantee you've never seen.  Funny (intentional and otherwise) quotes, facts and tidbits from sports, and a few memorable anecdotes fill this book.  It's not a reference, not cohesively arranged, not a work of great literature, it's just--stupid sports.  So put this next to your bed, on your coffee table, on in the "reading room" where you spend a few minutes each day, and enjoy the silliness.
