Product Description:
Big League Trivia - Interesting Facts, Figures, Oddities, and Coincidences from our National Pastime is a unique trivia book divided into twenty-four chapters dealing with various areas of the great game of major league baseball. Chapters include: All-Star Game, Awards, Ballparks, Coincidences, Debuts, Family, Golden Oldies, Home Runs, League Leaders, Managers, Milestones, Moment of Glory, No-Hitters, Oddities, One and Only, Opening Day, Performances, Pitching, Playoffs and World Series, Runs Batted In, So Close, Teams, Triples, and Two of a Kind. Rather than using a simple question-and-answer format, the material in Big League Trivia is presented in sentence form - varying in length from a single line to an entire paragraph - to give more detailed information on various items from major league baseball. The items covered in Big League Trivia span from the beginning of the modern baseball era in 1900 through the 2005 season and include everything from the most famous moments in baseball history to unusual coincidences and quirky statistical oddities that only baseball can produce.

Who, in 2005, scored his very first big league run on a homer, even though he wasn't on base when the blast was hit?
Who's very first career win came with a club he wasn't even on when the game started?
Better yet, ask yourself... how???
That's just what Madison McIntire achieves in "Big League Trivia." You'll not only learn the names behind the feats, but the entertaining and informative tales that accompany them.
There's plenty of tantalizing nuggets to squirrel away and fire at your buddies.
Pick up a copy and enjoy.

In the six years that I have known Madison McEntire, he always referred to "the book" that he would someday write, and now he has delivered. I would describe "Big League Trivia" as the perfect book to keep on your nightstand. Just before you turn the lights out, pick it up, open to any page and prepare to find something that only a baseball fan can appreciate. For instance, only three pitchers named "Kevin" have pitched no-hitters in MLB history, but all three of them came against the San Francisco Giants. (For the record, the three Kevins were Gross, Brown and Millwood.) I love the idea that this is not the usual Q & A trivia book. To me, that makes this a much more enjoyable volume.

This book is a wonderful collection of odd facts about baseball. I don't call it trivia, even though the title does, since, as the author notes, George Will said "Correct thinkers think that 'baseball trivia' is an oxymoron: nothing about baseball is trivial." Laid out in paragraph form, instead of the usual question and answer form, it frees you from trying to think of answers that you'll never guess. It's sure to give any baseball fan hours of enjoyable reading.
