In terms of population the city of Green Bay is barely a blip on
the map compared to sports markets like New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Miami, Detroit, Dallas and Indianapolis. Even
Jacksonville, Florida-home of the hapless Jaguars-has a population
eight times greater than Green Bay. So how do you explain
70,000-plus fans at Lambeau Field for every Packers home game? It's
pretty simple. This "blip on the map" city has an address that
rivals Times Square. Welcome to Titletown, USA. The Packers own
more championships than any other team in professional football.
The franchise claims legendary names like Lambeau, Lombardi and
Nitschke as its own. Green Bay might be home to mere thousands, but
there are millions more who live and breathe in the realm of
cheesehead fandom. Green and gold merchandise annually ranks among
the NFL's best selling. Want to buy season tickets to Lambeau? Good
luck. There are more people on the waiting list than there are
people living in Green Bay. This is a franchise steeped in
tradition and rich in history-and all of it can be found within
these pages: the great players, from Johnny Blood to Clay Matthews,
Bart Starr to Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers, every title game, and
the greatest moments, from the Ice Bowl to Super Bowl XXXI. Think
you know Packers history? Think again. With stories from every era
in team history and 350 brand new trivia questions, there's
something here for every cheesehead-so test your skills, wrack your
brain, it's your Green Bay Packers IQ, the ultimate test of true
fandom.
Pujols, Carpenter, Wainwright ... they're all here And so are the
greatest legends from Cardinals history ... Musial, Dean, Flood,
Tudor, Slaughter, McGee, Smith, Brock, Gibson, and many more. It's
your Cardinals IQ, the ultimate trivia test that will illuminate
once and for all the true level of your fandom "The St. Louis
Cardinals are one of the premiere franchises in all of professional
sports. To create a book of trivia and history that approaches the
same standard of excellence that Cardinals' fans have come to
expect from their team is no small feat, but that's precisely what
the author of St. Louis Cardinals IQ has done. This is the
must-have Cardinals book of the year." - Daniel J. Brush,
award-winning author of the Sports by the Numbers series
Spying the twin spires, hugging the rail, hearing the snap of the
gate, the crowd takes a nervous deep breath in unison. The horses
lunge, the jockeys crouch. Now the race for the roses is run and
timelessness has begun. Long-shot odds, winning tickets, record
crowds, Hall of Fame statistics, and historical dates all add up to
the "Most exciting two minutes in sports." Think you know Kentucky
Derby history? Think again. This IQ Series book will test even the
best horsemen and trainers who have been around the sport their
whole lives. Test your skills. Wrack your brain. It's the ultimate
Kentucky Derby IQ test.
Think you know Milwaukee Brewers baseball? Think again. It's time
to find out how much you really know about Brewers trivia - and to
find out where you rank among the who's who of diehard Brewers
fans. Are you a rookie? Are you a tested, hardcore veteran headed
for the Hall of Fame? Or are you a fair-weather fan who will be
clearing waivers for your pending release halfway through the book?
We'll let you know. Test your skills. Wrack your brain. It's the
ultimate Milwaukee Brewers IQ test. - Advance Praise for Milwaukee
Brewers IQ - "I thought I knew everything there is to know about
the Milwaukee Brewers. Then, I read Milwaukee Brewers IQ. Now I can
say I do. Joel Katte condensed 40 years of wonderful Brewers
memories into one book. The questions in each section reminded me
of all that is good about baseball in Milwaukee. This is the most
comprehensive Brewers trivia book ever created and should be
enjoyed by all baseball fans, especially Brewers fans." - Dan
Bagin, Brewers fan since 1975 "This is easily the best trivia book
on the Brew Crew - but it's also much more than that. It's a
wonderful tribute to a beloved team from one of its most-crazed
fans (and a former professional baseball player, to boot), which
makes it required reading for anyone who considers themselves a
member of Brew Crew Fandom." - Daniel J. Brush, award-winning
co-author of the Sports by the Numbers Series
