This is one of two books that I've read so far in the "100 Things..." series about sports fans. I like them because they can be read from 1 to 100, or you can skip around to read each section. The author has a great way with the written word and is a wonderful storyteller who helps bring the characters and settings to life. The book covers a variety of sports and tells stories of everyone from legendary coaches Herb Brooks and Bud Grant to female hockey players Krissy Wendell-Pohl and Natalie Darwitz. Stories cover decades of Minnesota sports, while the author also touches on the University of Minnesota traditions like the Little Brown Jug and the Ski-U-Mah chant.

Three (3) things:
1.) I'm glad that there was a pithy chapter on Reed Larson.
2.) In accordance to the title, I can now die. Cheers!
3.) Never allow a lover to purchase swim trunks on your behalf. Lovers are typically far too kind with their interpretation of your waist area, and everyone hates it when swim trunks are returned.
