I am crazy about this book/game. It was a Christmas gift. A friend and I spent the entire afternoon (on and off) playing with it.
BUT - I've found at least one incorrect question/answer. I suspect there are more. I'm not bad with my baseball trivia. But, according to this book, I'm basically a slobbering idiot. I knew the Mets won the Series in 1969, but according to one question (I did not have presence of mind to write down the question number) they weren't even in the series that year.
Picky - yes, but I want to know I'm either right or wrong - actually, and not due to a mistake.

This book is a lot of fun for those of us who have been around a while. Educational for the young that love the history of baseball. Only wish there was one for Football.

It hate it when people give something bad reviews due to price or availability like most of the early reviews did. That has nothing to do with the quality of the product people!!!!
I love baseball trivia, and this seems like the perfect book. The little computer makes it more fun than having to page to the back many trivia books. With 2500 questions I hope it stays fresh for quite a while. It is great to use while on road trips as long as someone other than the driver is controlling the computer :-)

Obsessed with...Baseball: Test Your Knowledge of America's Pastime (Obsessed With...)
I have nothing but good things to report about this Baseball trivia book so far. I got this book after first getting and loving the one about Movie Trivia. Obssessed With... Hollywood: Test Your Knowledge of the Silver Screen (Obsessed With) (Obsessed With...) So far I have no complaints with either. I would only point out that the Baseball book has a lot tougher questions than the Hollywood book so it's a little harder to get into a groove with it. Also the stats here are only through the 2006 season or so, so just be aware they are not completely up to date for newer stats and players.
This book is packed with very challenging baseball trivia questions, with a nice emphasis on the classic and modern eras. The electronic answer box worked just fine for me. The lower right corner houses the answer box that randomly gives you question numbers to flip to. You also use this box to answer multiple choice questions. It gives you instant feedback on correct and incorrect answers and tracks your accuracy.
The book, while solid, could have been constructed better. This is pretty much the same impression I got from the Hollywood book. The electronic answer box can break away from the hardcover if you're not careful, and I spied a few in the bookstore with that issue. In addition, after playing for a while I've come to think the binding is too tight. ... Read More

Not happy with seller, it took over a week for them to let me know it was out of stock and would be a month until it was shipped.
