With characteristic gusto and unquestioned expertise, top-rated radio host Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo creates his own Hall of Fame. But the bar is much higher, only ten honorees in each category, so plenty of all-time greats will find themselves on the outside looking in.

The 10 Top Tens include:

• The Top Players in Baseball, NFL Football, NBA Basketball, College Basketball, College Football
• The Top 10 Coaches of All Time
• The Top 10 Sports Moments in History
• The Top 10 Sports Venues

Russo ranks Lou Gehrig, Willie Mays, and Walter Johnson. He takes sides and ranks Fenway Park ahead of Yankee Stadium (or is it the other way around?). He names the single greatest sports moment of all time. Each bite-size chapter is packed with the lists and sidebars that made The Mad Dog 100 a quick, easy read. Accessible to the casual sports fan and expert enough for the most die-hard, The Mad Dog Hall of Fame is a provocative must-have tour of the world of sports, chock-full of close calls and tough choices designed to fan the flames of sports fans' most passionate debates.
