Synopsis
A Paperback Original.
The sports world's most pressing questions are answered, at last, by ESPN The Magazine's beloved icon of industrious inquiry.
Why do baseball fans stretch in the seventh inning? Why do hockey players wear shorts? These are the questions that try sports fans' souls, sending the most ardent athletic aficionados into a tailspin. Luckily, sports lore is the domain of Answer Guy, whose column in ESPN The Magazine is the first place those fans turn to for answers. Now Answer Guy's hilarious, highly anecdotal and mostly correct answers are compiled for the first time in this easy-to-tote volume that includes 65 of the best published and never-before-seen columns along with new material such as: testimony from famous and not-so-famous Answer Guy sources; an Answer Guy quiz; A Brief History of Inquiry; and questions Answer Guy thought of asking but didn't.
Question: Why are there 18 holes in a round of golf?
The Answer Guy: Nick? Nicolas Shump, member services consultant, Golf Course Superintendents Association of America: Well, there's fact and there's lore. The fact is it comes from St. Andrews in Scotland. And the lore? They say a bottle of scotch contained 18 jiggers. When the bottle was empty, the round was over. Hey, I get it -- a "round" of golf!
