Crazyball is a look at the wild, unusual, unimaginable, funny, and downright strange occurrences in sports. Barry Wilner and Ken Rappoport take us from the worst teams in history to sports’ craziest superstitions, wackiest pranks, and ultimate blown calls. This book is filled with moments that will make you laugh, shake your head in wonderment, lose your breath, or simply ask: “Really?!”

"Sports seem to be more fertile territory for off-the-wall events, people, etc., than, say, accounting. Here, Wilner and Rappoport, two Associated Press writers with a combined total of almost 70 years covering virtually all sports and over 100 books written between them, take advantage of that fertility. They present their harvest in a series of vignettes covering all the madness from superstitions to bizarre plays, from great and not-so-great players and teams to Stengelese and Berraisms. Sports fans will recognize much of what the authors present, but there will also be something new for everybody. (How many are familiar with the All American Red Heads, a Globetrotters-like touring women’s basketball team that crisscrossed the country for 50 years, beginning in the mid-1930s, metronomically defeating men’s teams?) . . . Sports buffs will take delight in the craziness." - Library Journal

"Everyone knows that crazy things can happen in sports, but this new book by Associated Press writers Wilner and Rappoport has managed to bring together as many wacky stories as possible. From little know teams like the All American Red Heads to big names like Evel Knievel, covering every sport you can imagine, this collection is great for any sports fan who is looking for a great laugh." - The Lima News
