There's a reason the hardcover history of Sports Illustrated is called The Franchise . In the arena of sports journalism, it is the franchise, the way, say Greg Maddux is for the Braves, Brett Favre for the Packers, or Michael Jordan for the Bulls. Sports Illustrated's annual Sports Almanac, now in its seventh season, is a comprehensive collection of sport-by-sport results, awards, statistics, and records, but it wouldn't be Sports Illustrated if it just stuck to the numbers. The magazine's writers tackle their respective beats with solid overview essays, including one that shows you the money--and where it went in 1997. Other features, such as "They Said It" and "Scorecard," represent oddities that are woven throughout to raise the level of what is essentially a first-rate reference into an entertainingly readable one.

Full of stats and good info January 25, 2001
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
Each year, I buy a sports almanac, either this one or the ESPN Sports Almanac. They are both good and I don't see either being significantly better than the other. The World Almanac and other general almanacs have a sports section but obviously, this one goes into much more depth. Also minor sports (badminton anyone?) are covered in sports almanacs which may receive short shrift in a general almanac. I am interested in golf and there are detailed statistics of the previous PGA season as well as stats on the majors from their inceptions. I recommend this almanac to all sports fans.
