THE SPORTS BUCKET LIST: 101 Sights Every Fan Has To See Before The Clock Runs Out by Rob Fleder and Steve Hoffman is the perfect gift for the sport nut in your life. This book covers the best of the best, although there is lots of room to argue about venues and teams. Notre Dame and Pittsburg are here, ice hockey, rugby, golf (a couple of times) and everybody's favorite, Elephant Polo.
East Coast, West Coast and all around the world, almost every sport you can imagine is here, each with at show more least one full color photo. and a nice description of what you are looking at, where it is, and why it is important.
Even the world Series of Poker is listed although I wonder about the athleticism of many of the players. And next time you plan to go to Sienna Italy, try to hit the dates in July and August for the horse race. It is only been happening for more than 450 years so its about time you got around to seeing it.
My favorite is the Indy 500. I didn't see rodeo listed, yet poker is in here. What were you thinking Misters Fleder and Hoffman?
The only present that would top this is a large collection of tickets to the places and events listed. show less

I love this book. This book is my favorite sport i like to play. When i grow up i want to be a football player. Football is the one the best sports ever created. But its also dangerous. You could break your leg playing football. You could break anything playing football. My favorite team is the Eagles. This year 2011-2012 we havent done so good but i think we can go to the superbowl next year and win it. If micheal vick steps up and the offensive of line steps up, our offense with be show more unstoppable.My favorite position is Widereciver. The reason my favorite position is Widereciever is because you run alot and running is fun. You also get to catch it too. Its a great book and sport you should read and play it! show less
