You already know Joe Montana threw the pass and Dwight Clark made the leap. You know about the West Coast offense, Jerry Rice's work ethic, and Ronnie Lott's missing fingertip.
But did you know that "The Catch" was never intended for Clark? That the play was designed for Freddie Solomon, and Montana never even saw the reception because he was flat on his back? Did you know a four-year-old Tom Brady was in the stands that day, and later called that moment the reason he wanted to play quarterback?
Those are just two of the 200 facts inside this book. The rest go even deeper.
San Francisco 49ers Trivia: 200 Facts Every Diehard Fan Needs to Know is built for the fan who has already read the standard histories and wants something more. Roughly 90 percent of these facts are deep cuts: stories about players, coaches, owners, stadiums, draft picks, rivalries, and organizational decisions that even dedicated fans tend to miss.
You will meet the World War II veteran who guarded Nazi war criminals at Nuremberg before becoming the AAFC's all-time leading scorer. You will learn why Red Hickey called his new formation the "shotgun" and how a 49ers quarterback and receiver coined the term "alley-oop" two years before basketball adopted it. You will discover that both Morabito brothers died of heart attacks in their forties, and that their widows ran the franchise for twelve years before selling to the DeBartolo family.
Every fact includes a source citation. Every explanation runs 100 to 150 words, giving you the full story behind the headline, not just a one-line answer to a quiz question.
What makes this different from other 49ers trivia books:
