Synopsis

Professional athletes at their worst.

Athletes are highly trained individuals whose superior conditioning, reflexes, and talents allow them to run, throw, skate, catch, aim, jump, and perform better than anyone else. That's why we enjoy the brief, fleeting moments when they perform more like mortal creatures.

Sports Bloopers is a collection of over 150 photographs that capture athletes in the most outrageous blunders, pratfalls, and slip-ups ever seen.

Highly recognizable athletes such as Derek Jeter and Robin Ventura make an appearance in Sports Bloopers.

Everyone makes mistakes. But not everyone makes them in front of millions of viewers. Sports fans of all ages will enjoy the antics and unexpected moments caught forever by some of the world's best sports photographers.

Almost every professional and amateur sport is represented here including football, basketball, hockey, track and field, baseball, golf, auto racing, and soccer.
