When I saw this book, I wasn’t sure what it was about, but I still proceeded to read it. I guess, you can say, I was intrigued by the title and the author.
The title, Got Your Number, hits close to home as for almost 20 years, I was a high school football statistician, so numbers were my thing. Plus, I enjoyed scanning the official NBA guides which was filled with stats of all kinds.
As for Mike Greenberg, I watched him on ESPN and would often have Mike and Mike playing in the background while I got ready for work in the mornings.
So, basically, the premise for this book is he took the numbers 1 through 100 and assigned an athlete or a team to represent each number either by their jersey number or the year that that athlete or team accomplished something magnificent. It was a few pages for each number, but those pages were filled with numbers.
The majority of teams and athletes, I knew of, but some I had no clue. I did like trying to guess who the next number would be, and I was wrong most of the time.
By the time I got to 80, I was tired of reading it, but I still managed to complete it. It was just a bit much for my little brain.
