Some of the most provocative chapters include: -Most Overrated: Christopher Columbus and Joe Namath -Greatest Teams: 1992 Dream Team and the Founding Fathers -Greatest to Have Never Won the Big One: Ted Williams and Henry Clay -Most Deranged: Mike Tyson and Edgar Allan Poe -Greatest Comebacks: 2004 ALCS and the Texas Revolution of 1836 History for Jocks is the first book of its kind to blend the sports and historical worlds together in a witty way. Students and adults will enjoy learning about America's historical past through these comical and captivating sports-history analogies.
