Reviews / Votes
In this wickedly entertaining and informative book, Kevin Nelson describes heckling in all its inglorious forms, and he packs the pages with incidents of fans' clever, biting and gut-busting taunts, scoffs and jeers. After reading this sportive guide, you just might feel inspired to unleash your dark side at the game and then claim (with absolutely no proof, of course) that you helped your team win. -- Allan Zullo, coauthor of The Baseball Hall of Shame: The Best of BlooperstownMore details
