2000 Olympic gold medalist Maurice Greene is among the celebrity athletes making an appearance in a newly published book by Todd Gallagher, Andy Roddick Beat Me With A Frying Pan.
The book is one man’s mission to settle, once and for all, some fifty different sports debates, no matter how ridiculous. Gallagher gets answers from A-list names in every major sport, from Greene to LeBron James to Jason Giambi to Mike Tyson, and many others.
In the chapter, “What kind of a handicap would it take to beat an Olympic sprinter?” Gallagher’s editor takes on Greene in a footrace. The hitch: the editor gets a more than 30-meter head start and runs more than half the 100-meter race on a moving walkway.
Other questions settled by exhibition events like Greene’s, which Gallagher staged for the book: Are pro golfers good at miniature golf? Can basketball players really “make change” off the top of a backboard? How would a regular person fare against top-ranked U.S. tennis champ Andy Roddick, if Roddick used a frying pan instead of a tennis racket?
