My wife became quite knowledgeable on the sports front, but I tried not to twist any arms. I guess a man’s gotta have priorities, though.

Glad to hear you’ll be getting the book! We’re up to 2 guaranteed buys (my dad assures me he’s in too).

My friend in college was a fanatic Giants fan (baseball) and required his fiancee to know the entire 25 man roster before the wedding. I became her tutor preparing for the test. She passed and all was well.

Except that the night before the wedding, he and I were listening to a broadcast of a Cardinal-Giants game, the sort of long range broadcast where you hear between the static and the signal goes in and out (we were in NY and the game was in St. Louis). Sadecki beat the Giants, and my friend took that as a bad omen. I had to spend the rest of the night convincing him to go through with the wedding anyway.

Incidentally, as an avid Rays’ fan I will be first in line to get your book when it comes out.
