Title: For the young only
Review: If you're younger than 25, you might find something you didn't know in this volume. Any older, and you'll likely know everything here. I, a 49-year-old, found nothing new in this bunch of fluff, even though I (a) don't even live in North America and (b) have so little interest in sport(s) that I don't even know the rules of any of the popular ones except for baseball.The information here that seems to be accurate comes from general history works (which most people will have read); the misleading information comes from Barra's own arguments, which, especially when they concern statistics, reveal the same kind of typical ignorance this book ostensibly serves to ammeliorate.Overall, so-so.
