The Bleachers series by Steve Moore is a long-running collection of sports cartoons spanning three decades, from Born in the Bleachers in 1989 to the two It Only Laughs When I Hurt books released in 2019. The series covers a range of sports, with dedicated volumes for baseball (Back to the Bleachers, 1996) and golf (Dibs on His Clubs!, 2004), alongside broader collections drawing from across the sporting world.
The 2003 title The Best of In the Bleachers: A Classic Collection of Mental Errors suggests the series had accumulated enough material by that point to support a greatest-hits volume, marking a natural midpoint before the series continued into the 2010s. The two 2019 books — both focused on sports injury humor — round out the seven-book run with a consistent comedic theme.
