With the Yankees already out of the playoffs, it’s understandable if you’re feeling a bit down about sports at the moment. Laugh through the pain at Tuesday night’s book launch party for The Ecstasy of Defeat: Sports Reporting at Its Finest, a collection of The Onion’s best articles on the wacky world of sports. The book features articles ranging from funny because it’s true to cringe-worthy but hilarious, like “Pilgrims Depart for America to Escape Horrible Oppression of Soccer” and “Augusta National Honors Tiger Woods With Own Drinking Fountain.” Expect the event, taking place at powerHouse Arena, to take your mind off of any sports-related woes.
