In elementary school a trailer would show up at different times during the year. It was the book-sale mobile. I usually would get sports books, but one or twice I got a choose-your-own adventure. This is one of those sports books.
I was a Giants fan, and still am. Phil Simms winning his Super Bowl was one of earliest NFL memories. A few years later, during the Bills painful march through four straight Super Bowls, we got Hoss and Otiss (not a typo, that's two s's) leading Big Blue to another SB victory.
And as a modern fan, I've been able to enjoy Eli winning two rings himself. Two. Eli. Right?
This book is small and flimsy, maybe fifty or sixty pages, and is a collector's item, if that collector is a little kid who thinks the Hostetler name contains an interesting consonant cluster.
This is probably a time where I picked a book by its cover, like another one of my earlier book-mobile purchases, a baseball book from 1987 with Donnie Baseball on the cover.
