Review of
LOL Sports: An All-star Collection of
Jokes, Quotes & Anecdotes, by Jack Kreismer ISBN
9781603870061
Five out of five stars
Mostly chuckles, but still pretty good
This collection
of short sports related tales will amuse all people, even those not dedicated
to sports fandom. All types of sports are the subject of the stories, some of
which are only incidentally related to a sport. For example, there is the story
of a bank robber that disguised himself very well yet had a distinctive NASCAR-themed
license plate on his getaway car. There is also the story that appeared featuring
a pitcher that threw a fastball 168 mph. It was published on April 1.
If you are a
follower of sports, you will no doubt have heard some of these anecdotes. For example, there is the classic about Babe
Ruth asking for a higher salary than the President of the United States. For
after all, “I had a better year than he did.” There is also a top 20 list of Chris
Berman’s catchphrases and nicknames for sports stars.
This is a book
designed for those moments when you have a few seconds or perhaps minutes where
you need to while away the time by taking your mind elsewhere. Therefore, a
bathroom shelf is a good location.
