good value

wanted this years ago. got great deal. good book to debate some great athletes.

Amazed how quickly this arrived

We didnt expect this book to arrive until after Christmas, but we received it on the 24th! Thank you so much for sending this out so quickly!

A Fun Debate

This book will spark discussions among sports fans about athletes and the numbers they wore. You'll also learn the rumors behind why some athletes wore certain numbers.

Fabulous fun for sports fans

I gave this book to several of my husband's co-workers because he works in sports television. It's a very well-written, thought-provoking (and discussion/argument-provoking) publication! Plus, it has terrific anecdotes scattered throughout the pages about suspicions regarding the uniform numbers and why certain players changed numbers mid-career. LOTS of FUN!!! They loved it!

A Fun Book

Great to see who wore what, and what they meant to their respective sports...a fun book to share with your kids
