Review of
A New Treasury of Sports Humor,
by Herman L. Masin
Four out of five stars
Good, but not great sports humor shorts
While there are
wry smiles and a few chuckles in this book, there is nothing that will cause
you to burst out laughing. The stories are generally a paragraph or two in
length and feature sports figures at all levels, from the champions to those
who only had a cup of coffee in a minor league version of the sport.
This is a fun
book that can be read very quickly. It is a light look at the lighter side of
sports. There are no revelations of the background of how sports and those who
play them function, either in their craft or personal life.
