Solid quick read with interesting information about the best moments in sports history. I Learned quite a bit that I didn't know. There's a video link for each moment the author includes, which was useful for the ones that occurred before my time.
Why no motorsports moments? There are more to sport than stick and ball. Better than Ken Burns who focused on the northeast.
