Upon Further Review: The Greatest What-Ifs in Sports History by Mike Pesca
3.0
The book serves, as do all books of its type, as a way for writers to highlight an event they see as important and show that my demonstrating the "what if", the long shadow.
There's some good variety to the sports and the what-ifs, from purely on-field contemplations to the wider social and political world such as Title IX and Muhammad Ali's draft protest.
Unfortunately it doesn't make it more interesting than a, "gee, never thought about that before" shrug. Of course the highlight, as of most things in which he participates, is John Bois's delightful nonsensical riff. It adds nothing but entertainment, but man is it entertaining.
