This series might be the answer for what to hand to a somewhat reluctant reader who is obsessed with sports. Loosely modeled after the very popular Who Would Win animal series, the books in this series take two stars from different sports teams, and often different eras, and place their stats side by side to ask who would win if they were matched up against one another today. The books feature biographical histories, greatest moments, and a collection of stats on each player. Photos are included throughout, and the back matter includes an index, glossary, and a list of resources where readers can discover more about each player and their sport.
