What major historical events inspired the naming of the Philadelphia 76ers, San Francisco 49ers, and Oklahoma Sooners? And what caused the NBA's Washington Bullets to change their name to the Wizards? In That's My Team! The History, Science, and Fun behind Sports Teams' Names, Paul Volponi shares the answers to these questions and more. Leading readers on a fast-paced journey through different parts of the United States and the world, Volponi reveals fascinating pieces of information on pop culture, history, science, literature, and a slew of other subjects through the lens of sports. While examining how teams from a variety of sports received their names, he also includes segments on Native Americans, minorities overcoming prejudice, and the growth of women's sports. That's My Team! features fifteen challenges that test the knowledge readers have gained through the chapters, while three "timeouts" provide readers with opportunities to create meaningful names for their own brand new sports teams. Both reluctant and sports-crazed readers, teens and preteens alike, will find this book an exciting way to learn about a variety of subjects through their favorite sports teams. -- Provided by publisher   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 796.06 Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 796.06 Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 796.06 Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 796.06 Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 796.06 Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 796.06 Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 796.06 Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 796.06 Vo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
