It's a very fun, and interesting, book about <a href="http://www.ironmankyle.com" target="_blank"> big sports errors,</a> What Were They Thinking? The Brainless Blunders that Changed Sports History. Kyle Garlett has assembled scads of great stories about what really happened during the sports blunders that made you tear your hair out, or at least wonder about what was going on. I like the Bill Buckner story from the 1986 World Series -- the author takes the position Buckner is NOT to blame, by the way. And if you think you won't ever use math in the real world, and you're playing golf on Sunday with a chance to win the Masters, think again. This book is great for both rabid and casual fans, and non-fans, too. Here's another sports-related book, like the one you have about golf.
