Book Synopsis
Combining the content of two of Frommer's previous books, Sports Roots and Sports Lingo, this book not only explains how nicknames, namesakes, trophies, competitions, and expressions in the world of sports came to be, but also serves as a useful dictionary of the language of sports-both technical and slang.

Trade Review
Move over "Sports Center,..." Frommer successfully fuses the common with the exotic, the arcane with the ordinary, the old with the new, and the poignant with the matter-of-fact. * New York Sportscene *
