    How does your body react to the impact from a bone-shattering tackle from a 250 pound linebacker? What is the secret behind the "rising fastball"? And how in the world does Lance Armstrong do what he does so well? All these questions, and more, are answered in this encyclopedia of sorts. Why A Curveball Curves is an in-depth look at the statistical and scientific factors of sports. From Baseball to Cycling, and every sport in-between, if your wondering the difference between the butterfly stroke and the breast stroke, or you want to know which bowling ball will give you a leg up on the competition, this is your book. On the other hand, if you’re not so much a fan of sports, or just enjoy the simplistic view of just the game and nothing deeper, you might want to leave this one on the shelf.
