Book Description

Have you ever wondered how your favorite teams acquired their nickname; or the statistics regarding your favorite players. Power of a Name delivers the information right to your fingertips. Consider the Yankees: the origin of the name was actually an expression invented by Dutch immigrants. Their accent made saying, "Jack Cheese" sound like they were uttering, "Jan-kee". The Pittsburg Pirates, meanwhile, were so called because their owner was accused of stealing players from other teams. Did you know Ty Cobb ran the 100-yard dash in ten seconds, and Hall of Fame pitcher, Walter Johnson, is believed to have thrown pitches in excess of 100-mph. Andy Rooney of Sixty Minutes said, "We have the Jets and Mets, what do all these names mean anyway." The answers are in this book which associates team names with some of the most intriguing events, people, and moments in American history. Power of a Name is an entertaining fact filled book full of rich trivia. Max Morgan, Fox Sports News

The premier reference for making Chicago Bulls fandom a lifestyle instead of just a sports preference, this collection of essential team knowledge and Bulls-related activities distills the past 50 years of NBA basketball into a fun checklist that will appeal to fans of any age. It's one thing to have been to the United Center and rooted for Derrick Rose, to relish highlights of a young Michael Jordan, or even to know that all six championship teams were led by Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Coach Phil Jackson. But it is a whole other level of fan commitment to know who Benny the Bull is named after, which player once grabbed 37 rebounds in a single game, and how the Bulls missed out on Magic Johnson in the draft. These facts and trivia--as well as important dates, player nicknames, key jersey numbers through history, and even the best places to eat before or after a game--are included in this resource that will enlighten new fans and initiate them into proper Bulls fandom, or remind die-hard fans why theirs is the team to follow year after year.
