You Lose Some, You Lose Some: The Greatest Screwed-Up Seasons, Gruesome Games, Failed Favorites, Pitiful Players, and Fouled-Up Franchises in the History of Sports
Sports fans have been slammed with tales of triumphant heroes, remarkable willpower, brilliant strategists, and against-all-odds comebacks History, after all, is written by the winners. This book isn't about them. You Lose Some, You Lose Some focuses on those "other" competitors — the ones who distinguished themselves by holding tight to the losing end of the stick. The ones who had a shot at greatness but fumbled the handoff, dropped the easy fly ball, or bricked the breakaway layup. The ones like Chris Webber with his infamous time out, the 1919 Black Sox, Mary Decker and her fall from Olympic victory, and the Stanford football team of 1982. Lou Harry and Eric Furman tell these stories and more in candid, humorous, fact-filled entries. .

From the supplier: Oppenheimer and Co Managing Dir Myron M. Picoult believes that an 'absolutely pitiful' pricing environment, the lack of investment income growth and inadequate reserves will keep the property and casualty industry in the worst economic position it has occupied in the last 27 years. Speaking at the Alliance of American Insurers annual meeting, Picoult blamed the $15.5 billion losses from Hurricane Andrew, company management, regulators, rating agencies and accountants for the economic weakness of the industry.
