520    "From Mike Pesca, host of the popular Slate podcast The 
       Gist, comes the greatest sports minds imagining how the 
       world would change if a play, trade, injury, or referee's 
       call had just gone the other way. No announcer ever 
       proclaimed: "Up Rises Frazier!" "Havlicek commits the foul,
       trying to steal the ball!" or "The Giants Lose the Pennant,
       The Giants Lose The Pennant!" Such moments are indelibly 
       etched upon the mind of every sports fan. Or rather, they 
       would be, had they happened. Sports are notoriously games 
       of inches, and when we conjure the thought of certain 
       athletes - like Bill Buckner or Scott Norwood - we can't 
       help but apply a mental tape measure to the highlight 
       reels of our minds. Players, coaches, and of course fans, 
       obsess on the play when they ask, "What if?" Upon Further 
       Review is the first book to answer that question. Upon 
       Further Review is a book of counterfactual sporting 
       scenarios. In its pages the reader will find expertly 
       reported histories, where one small event is flipped on 
       its head, and the resulting ripples are carefully 
       documented, the likes of... What if the U.S. Boycotted 
       Hitler's Olympics? What if Bobby Riggs beat Billie Jean 
       King? What if Bucky Dent popped out at the foot of the 
       Green Monster? What if Drew Bledsoe never got hurt? Upon 
       Further Review takes classic arguments conducted over 
       pints in a pub and places them in the hands of dozens of 
       writers, athletes, and historians. From turning points 
       that every sports fan rues or celebrates, to the forgotten
       would-be inflection points that defined sports, Upon 
       Further Review answers age old questions, and settles the 
       score, even if the score bounced off the crossbar"--
