| Title: Colorado Sports Trivia |
| By (author): Ryan O'Leary, J. Alexander Poulton |
| ISBN10-13: 1897277636 : 9781897277638 |
| Known for more than just the Rocky Mountains, the gold rush and winter tourists, Colorado is a haven for athletes and sports teams that make waves in the sports world: * Carlos Gonzalez earned his first National League batting championship in 2010 with a .336 batting average; it was the seventh batting title in 18 years of franchise history. * On October 6, 1990, with no time remaining, the University of Colorado Buffaloes scored the game-winning touchdown over the University of Missouri after a strange referee error gave the Buffs a fifth down; the Buffaloes went on to win the National Championship. * Vail Ski Resort, the second largest ski resort in North America, was built because the United States Military held World War II training exercises for the Tenth Mountain Division in the area during the 1940s. * The Colorado Avalanche is the only team in NHL history to have won the Stanley Cup in its first year after being relocated; the team went on to win eight division championships and went to the playoffs 10 times in their first 10 seasons. * And more... |

| Title: Does This Make Me Look Fat? |
| Sub-title: Canadian Sports Humour |
| By (author): J. Alexander Poulton |
| ISBN10-13: 1897277415 : 9781897277416 |
| Canadian sport is the brunt of many jokes, but Canucks take the jabs in stride and still find the humour in what's laughable from the ice to the water to the field and the court: * The head coach of the Toronto Raptors asked one of his forwards, ''Is your bad play due to ignorance or apathy?'' The player replied, ''I don't know and I don't care!'' * Q: Why did the Toronto Argonauts quarterback never have a phone installed in his home? A: Because he'd never be able to find the receiver. * A priest was walking along the beach in Nova Scotia when he came upon two locals pulling another man ashore with a rope. ''That's what I like to see,'' said the priest. ''A man helping his fellow man.'' As he was walking away, one local remarked to the other, ''Well, he sure doesn't know the first thing about shark fishing!'' * And so much more! |
