About: Garlett covers dozens of errors, mental mistakes, confused athletes, dense coaches and awkward situations from the history of sport.
Pros: Describes lots of situations from lots of different sports. Sticks up for those who thinks are wrongly vilified like Bill Buckner and Steve Bartman.
Cons: Juvenile humor and writing. Forgettable. On pages 47 and 48 of the hardcover "...with Hayes there was always a 'but'" is used twice. Doesn't cover league foldings like the XFL.
If you have ever questioned an umpire or a referee's vision, intelligence, or integrity, this is a must read. You will find a pantheon of blown and missed calls from all corners of the sports world. Many of these calls had direct impact on national and world titles. It is a great read.
The one exception I take to this book is that Kent Hrbek did not pull Ron Gant off the base in the 1991 World Series, and therefore was no a blown call.
