sports almanac

Seasonal stats compendium

A sports almanac is a reference book compiling statistics, records, and results from a given year or season in athletics.

It typically covers multiple sports and serves fans, journalists, and gamblers who want historical data: He looked up the 1985 World Series winner in his sports almanac.

The term gained pop-culture recognition from *Back to the Future Part II*, where a sports almanac from the future enables betting fraud.
