Did you know the greatest comeback in baseball history started with a single stolen base - with two outs, in the bottom of the ninth, against the most dominant closer in the sport? Did you know Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in a single NBA game - and the only photograph documenting it was taken in the locker room afterward by a public relations employee? Did you know the NFL's most famous rule change - one that altered the course of a dynasty - was applied in a snowstorm in New England and was so obscure that most coaches and broadcasters had never heard of it before that night? AMERICA'S HIDDEN SPORTS STORIES is the book that goes behind the scoreboard - into the locker rooms, the rulebooks, the courtrooms, the hotel rooms, and the frozen fields where American sports history was actually made. Packed with 1,000+ documented facts across 10 action-packed chapters this is the most entertaining and most surprising sports book ever written about the games Americans love. INSIDE YOU WILL DISCOVER: The most unbelievable moments in NFL history - including the comeback nobody saw coming and the rule nobody had heard of

America's most unusual sports traditions - why Green Bay fans leap into the stands and why Indianapolis winners drink milk
The strangest rules in American sports - the rules that didn't exist until someone did something nobody expected
