INTRODUCTION
A funny thing happens when people learn that you are (or were) the editor in chief or executive editor at ESPN The Magazine. After they ask you to identify your most obnoxious on-air colleagues (there were noneall were fine Americans), folks start peppering you with a litany of questions. It is the nonpotentially lifesaving version of the guy who hounds the doctor he just met at a party to diagnose various aches and pains. Some questions are of a trivial naturesay, which set of brothers holds the NHL record for most career goals? (Wayne and Brent Gretzkybut mostly Wayne.) Some pry for insider intel, like, is that player/team/coach/GM as talented/evil/incompetent/brilliant as people say? (Probablyexcept when he/she/they are not.) Other questions demand a little more pondering, be they provocative (Whos the best football coach of all time?) or particular (How do they get broncos to buck like that?), practical (How do I become an agent?) or personal (Is it okay to propose at a baseball game?).
Of course, we never had all the answers. What we did have, though, was the means to get them. And here they are. Up Your Game! is a curated representation of a fair amount of accumulated experience: ours, but also that of dozens of professional athletes and experts who were kind enough to share their hard-earned wisdom. It is a compendium of what you might call yokel knowledgethe customs, codes, and unwritten rules of fandomalong with insights into the fundamental skills of the games we love. From snagging an autograph to fielding a ground ball, from nailing a high five to landing an Ollie, from bluffing in poker to betting in golfthe entries add up to a users manual and field guide rolled into one. This doesnt mean youll agree with everything in here, but thats sports. One fans treasure is anothers trash (talk).
This kind of wisdom generally accrues in random moments over years and years of playing or rooting. So this book is organized in a similarly unpredictable fashion. Much of the joy of sports, for athletes and fans alike, is in the journey, a path of discovery with surprises that pop up along the way. Thats why youll find an All-Pro wide receivers advice for catching a football (useful to any weekend warrior) next to a recipe for the perfect mint julep (useful to any Kentucky Derby fan). The hundreds of nuggets in this book have a single missionto enhance your experience as a fan or your efforts as an athlete. And when youre done reading it all, you too will have an easy answer to all the hard questions: Read the book!

HOW TO
Catch a Foul Ball
Its like winning the lottery writ small, but unlike with the lottery, there are real ways to improve your chances of taking home a game-used memento of your night at the ballpark.
Choose your MatchUp wisely. Hard-throwing pitchers usually generate more fouls than junk ballers.
Dont bring a glove. Unless youve yet to hit puberty. It will make you look a little... delicate. Even the hardest line drive shouldnt do serious damage to your hands.
Find the right spot. As a rule, most foul balls land in either the upper deck behind home plate or the lower deck down the baselines. Fields with more expansive foul territories mean fewer chances for a ball to reach the baseline stands, so in such cases, the upper deck behind home is the way to go. All things being equal, though, keep in mind that your odds of catching a ball increase if youre sitting in a sparsely populated section.
Think ahead. To be in the right place at the right time, you need to know when the right time is. Keep an eye on the lineup: Contact hitters generally foul off more pitches than sluggers. You dont want to be in the bathroom when those guys are due to bat.
Play nicely with others. The last thing you want is to wind up in a viral video for knocking some sweet old lady into the next row just to grab a souvenir. Carve out some suitable personal space and stick to it. Baseball gods reward the courteous. (Or if they dont, they should.)
HOW TO
Win Your Fantasy League
Fantasy sports were invented to let couch jockeys in on the action. And while the games are fake, winning them takes real effort. Heres how to compete without expending too much energy.
Do your research. Many inexperienced fantasy players view draft prep as a binary proposition: either you cram for days or it doesnt matter. Not so. In most leagues, a couple of hours of focused work is all it takes to be competitive. Print a cheat sheet (or two) from a reliable source and highlight whom the experts have identified as ready-to-break-out sleepers and ready-to-fade stars. You really dont need more than that.
dont Let Your Heart Rule Your Head. The fan in you hates a particular team or player. The fantasy owner in you needs to leave those biases to real life. If you want to win your league, scoring potential trumps personal vendetta. (We knowits hard.)
