Product Description
Glow Pucks and 10-Cent Beer: The 101 Worst Ideas in Sports History chronicles the sports world's most infamous events, ill-fated ideas and unfortunate trends. It offers thorough research on each of its subjects, not just a simple retelling of well-known stories. Glow Pucks and 10-Cent Beer is a collection of original essays that use humor combined with a slightly cynical view to challenge silly sports phenomena and then to tackle some of the sports world's most revered traditions.

Reader Reviews
This book is highly amusing, and I read it cover-to-cover really quickly. This is a great gift for sports fans, even if they're not the type that watches SportsCenter every day. Greg doesn't mince any words or speak delicately about how bad these ideas were. His grasp on sports history is truly amazing. All of the ideas my friends guessed were in the book were there, plus many more we'd never even heard of. The writing is excellent, and I hope to see more from Greg soon.
