I just received The Ultimate Washington Baseball Trivia Book in the mail today. David Elfin is a veteran sports writer for the Washington Times and a fan of the late expansion Senators. He uses triva, photos and brief player biographies to tell the history of major league baseball in the nation's capitol. Each trivia page has 9 questions (one for each inning) around a theme such as Three Baggers or The Presidents. Did you know that Jimmy Carter is the only president from Taft on not to throw out a first pitch anywhere?

It's a fun book to learn about the history of the city's teams with the Expos moving to DC in 2005. However, the book does look hastily published; there are a number of typos in the prose. But this inexpensive paperback would make a great stocking stuffer for the young Washington fan unfamilar with his city's baseball heritage.

Enjoy!
