With three sons around we used to buy a copy for the house every year.. Now that everyone has their own place each gets one as a Chanukah gift...Added to the list this year is our son-in-law..They start thumbing through as soon as the gift wrap is off...leading to fun "sports talk".

Full of stats and good info

Each year, I buy a sports almanac, either this one or the ESPN Sports Almanac. They are both good and I don't see either being significantly better than the other. The World Almanac and other general almanacs have a sports section but obviously, this one goes into much more depth. Also minor sports (badminton anyone?) are covered in sports almanacs which may receive short shrift in a general almanac. I am interested in golf and there are detailed statistics of the previous PGA season as well as stats on the majors from their inceptions. I recommend this almanac to all sports fans.
SI comes out with another great almanac!

Looking at the SI 2000 Sports Almanac, I was able to find out about the events of not only the last year, but for many years beforehand. I couuld look up any sports related topic and find the info I needed. I definitely recommend it.
