Overview

With loyal fans supporting their major sports teams in the Seahawks (NFL), Mariners (MLB) -- plus a rabid fan base for University of Washington jocks -- Seattle is a great place for a sports debate. Local sports-radio talker Mike Gastineau teams up with longtime sportswriters Steve Rudman and Art Thiel to bring Seattle sports history to life with this provocative and enjoyable -- not to mention debatable -- book of lists.
