Back a couple months ago, I was sent a copy of San Francisco Chronicle veteran Ross Mckeon’s book “100 Things Sharks Fans Should Know and Do Before They Die.” Those that know me understand it takes me a very long time to get through books, but I’ll say that as someone who wasn’t sentient for much of the early days of the Sharks franchise I found McKeon’s books extremely informative and a lot of fun to read.
I’ve included an excerpt from the book below. It’s a story about Evgeni Nabokov, my first favorite San Jose Shark, and his improbably journey to, and success in, the National Hockey League.
