The author of the popular The Baseball Hall of Shame give equal time to football's most shameful and hilarious moments, baring the blunders of football's hottest stars from the training table to the Super Bowl. Illustrated with photographs.

The Baseball Hall of Shame 4 contains more than 100 absurd, offbeat and hysterically funny stories proving that on the playing field and in the ballpark, truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

An irreverent testament to the millions of anglers who ever hooked something they oughta notta, lost a really big one, or told a whopper Fishing is the No. 1 sport for fun—and spectacular snafus. Whether it’s a pro like Ray Scott or a presidential angler like George Bush, the deck is stacked to make buffoons of the best. So cast off on an ocean of hooks, lines, and stinkers as fishing guides, charter boat captains, game wardens, and weekend fishermen spill the wacky truth about shamefully funny moments such as when: • Ray Cockrell landed a huge bluefish and ate it—only to find out later his catch would have been a world record. • Author Ernest Hemingway tried to shoot the shark he had just landed—but instead shot himself in the leg. • Pro angler Gary Klein put his boat on a high-speed plane through a patch of tall weeds—and wound up in a cow pasture. • A Colorado woman was nabbed by authorities after they discovered she had stuffed 17 illegally caught fresh trout in her underwear. • Jim Bitter landed a bass that would have won him $50,000 in a tournament—until he accidentally dropped it over the side. The Worst Tournament Cheats! The Weirdest Casting Accidents! The Funniest Fish Stories! They’re All Immortalized In The Fishing Hall of Shame

‘A fresh look at the beautiful game’ - NME Welcome back to the inimitable work of illustrator David Squires. Most football fans can only dream of pulling on the shirt of their favourite team and running out in front of thousands of adoring fans. Pitch invaders aside, few of us get to experience that adrenalin rush. Of those who do make it as a professional footballer, even fewer realise the giddy heights of success. In the Illustrated History of Football: Hall of Fame, cartoonist David Squires returns to celebrate those who straddle the game like giants; those talented, determined souls who were juggling tennis balls in the back streets before they could talk. There’s more than one way to attain football immortality though, and Squires also turns his comic eye to the mavericks, the pioneers, the forgotten legends and the anti-heroes. From Pele to Meazza, Maradona to Socrates, you will be taken on an unforgettable journey through the good, the bad and the Hagi.
