PRESS QUOTES “[George] Plimpton, the patrician, Harvard-educated polymath with a taste for the madcap and presumably the nightcap, would have appreciated the spirit of Gallagher’s new book...a weird amalgam of serious inside-the-ropes research germane to the games and of ludicrous just-outside-the-asylum performance art." — International Herald Tribune “An entertaining new book with the best title I’ve ever heard. . . . There are lots of cool and authoritative conclusions in this book, based on empirical evidence.” — Gene Weingarten, Washington Post “Asks such burning questions as: Would an all-midget baseball lineup be almost unstoppable? Are pro golfers good at miniature golf? Could a tennis pro wielding a skillet beat an amateur with a racket? Sports fans often pose these kinds of off-the-wall questions—Mr. Gallagher heard many when he was a writer for ESPN.com—and this comic sports book sets out to find the answers by setting up bizarre contests.” — Wall Street Journal TODD GALLAGHER IN THE PRESS Post Gazette Gelf Magazine New York Times Daily News LA Times Coast to Coast AM The Mancow Show
