Miracles, Shockers, & Long Shots The Greatest Sports Upsets of All Time

From fond memory or through the film Miracle most Americans know about the stunning upset of the Soviet Union by the underdog U.S.A hockey team at the 1980 Olympics--engagingly retold in this book--but after this most unlikely of achievements, what do the authors consider to be the top twenty sports upsets of all time? Their answers in this entertaining volume will surprise some, perhaps appear obvious to others, but will no doubt prove to be fodder for bar-room arguments and spirited debate over sports talk radio. Ranking the miracle at Lake Placid in 1980 as the hands-down greatest sports upset ever, the authors go on to describe nineteen others whose ranking may prove to be more controversial.Wilner, Barry is the author of 'Miracles, Shockers, & Long Shots The Greatest Sports Upsets of All Time' with ISBN 9781589793118 and ISBN 1589793110.
