How did author Edgar Allen Poe influence the naming of the NFL's
Baltimore Ravens? What major historical events inspired the naming
of the Philadelphia 76ers, San Francisco 49ers, and Oklahoma
Sooners? And what caused the NBA's Washington Bullets to change
their name to the Wizards? In That's My Team! The History, Science,
and Fun behind Sports Teams' Names, Paul Volponi shares the answers
to these questions and more. Leading readers on a fast-paced
journey through different parts of the United States and the world,
Volponi reveals fascinating pieces of information on pop culture,
history, science, literature, and a slew of other subjects through
the lens of sports. While examining how teams from a variety of
sports received their names, he also includes segments on Native
Americans, minorities overcoming prejudice, and the growth of
women's sports. That's My Team! features fifteen challenges that
test the knowledge readers have gained through the chapters, while
three "timeouts" provide readers with opportunities to create
meaningful names for their own brand new sports teams. Both
reluctant and sports-crazed readers, teens and preteens alike, will
find this book an exciting way to learn about a variety of subjects
through their favorite sports teams.
