Book excerpt: When did Michael Jordan become Air Jordan? How did Earvin Johnson come to be known as Magic? Why is Juan Rodriguez called Chi Chi? These questions are answered in this reference work featuring about 20,000 nicknames of professional athletes from around the world. Part One is subdivided into sections for each sport; baseball, basketball, football, hockey and miscellaneous sports (mainly individual sports or ones not listed in the four main sections)--under which entries are alphabetized by players' given names. The entries in Part One tell the player's position, team, year of retirement, and--in as many instances as extensive research could afford--how the player got his or her nickname. Part Two offers the opposite access alphabetized by nickname and giving players' names and their sport.

Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered how your favorite teams acquired their nickname; or the statistics regarding your favorite players. Power of a Name delivers the information right to your fingertips. Consider the Yankees: the origin of the name was actually an expression invented by Dutch immigrants. Their accent made saying, "Jack Cheese" sound like they were uttering, "Jan-kee". The Pittsburg Pirates, meanwhile, were so called because their owner was accused of stealing players from other teams. Did you know Ty Cobb ran the 100-yard dash in ten seconds, and Hall of Fame pitcher, Walter Johnson, is believed to have thrown pitches in excess of 100-mph. Andy Rooney of Sixty Minutes said, "We have the Jets and Mets, what do all these names mean anyway." The answers are in this book which associates team names with some of the most intriguing events, people, and moments in American history. Power of a Name is an entertaining fact filled book full of rich trivia. Max Morgan, Fox Sports News

Book excerpt: Called the Guru of Sports, Burt Randolph Sugar has covered the sports scene for more than three decades, both in print and on television. In this book Sugar has attempted what no sportswriter has ever dared to do: He has selected those athletes whom he considers the best who ever played throughout the history of sports. Whether it's baseball, football, track and field, or any other sport, Sugar not only selects the greatest athletes, but ranks them according to their achievements. Over the years, the world of sports has served up countless legendary figures -- male and female. While readers may quarrel over his rankings: Babe Ruth (5), Joe Louis (58), Ben Hogan (29), Martina Navratilova (38), Larry Bird (48), and others, they will surely appreciate the incisive "Sugar-style" profiles of those heroes. The Sports 100 is a benchmark of those considered "great". It will find its way into every bar argument and is the perfect addition to any sport fan's library.
