Answer 1

Google is our friend. Trust the Google.

It is several times mentioned that Trisha likes J. R. R. Tolkien and especially his book The Hobbit. King has previously named Tolkien as a major influence on his work. {1}

It is mentioned that Trisha and Pepsi's favorite song at that moment is "Tubthumping" By Chumbawamba, although it is referred to as "Tubthumper," which is the name of the album. {1}

Although he is a huge Red Sox fan, Stephen King mispells Jason Varitek's name many times in the book Trisha always mentions how Gordon beats the Yankees, yet a few years later he ended up playing for the Yankees {1}

King was inspired to write The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon (1999) as a result of his attending a Red Sox baseball game at Fenway Park in July, 1998, during which he watched relief pitcher Tom Gordon save one of the 44 games that he saved during this season. {2}

There was only one day that suited as the laydown date for Stephen King's latest bestselling novel, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon -- April 6, opening day for Major League Baseball. The idea for the book came during a much-deserved break from writing that King had planned. Inspiration came while he was attending a Red Sox game at Fenway Park last July, watching relief pitcher Tom Gordon save one of the 44 games that he did last season for his team. It's shorter than the usual King book-224 pages, compared with 560 for his most recent bestseller, Bag of Bones -- but according to a starred PW review: "It's classic King, brutal, intensely suspenseful, an exhilarating affirmation of the human spirit." And it's no surprise that in addition to a national newspaper campaign and national radio advertising, Scribner is also promoting the book on the Fenway Park scoreboard. First printing is 1,250,000 copies. {3}

I do not pass close any spoiler web sites of any description and that entails WWE, TNA, ROH, NJPW and Pro NOAH.In the primary location, those web sites function on concept, hypothesis and "moment-guessing".Nobody is aware of for certain how Vince or Dixie have booked their respective fits.So how can any credence accept to those web sites earlier than the parties have occurred. Whatever merchandising it's, i desire to look at the indicates with none earlier abilities so i will be able to attempt to determine what is going to occur throughout the fit.What transfer comes subsequent, will he pass up at the ropes or opt for a technical finisher and so on.That's the joys, the thrill and the mystique of being a wrestling fan.Watching and ready to peer how a fit pans out, what feuds begin, what angles can be beginning and so on.Spoilers break this and simply deaden or numb the complete revel in for the exact fanatics.Wrestling entertains, spoilers break it.
