A round up of the most outrageous group of malcontents, characters, rebels, nut jobs, reprobates, wing-nuts, wackos, space cadets, head cases, goofs, free thinkers, and oddballs who ever livened up the grand old game of baseball, this collection not only describes their most bizarre antics in often-hilarious detail, but also includes the unique thoughts of Bill "Spaceman" Lee, a man known for his colorful quotes and offbeat personality.
Great Collection of eccentric baseball stories heard over the years
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I do own the book but this review is a response to the only other reviewer. Although none of these tales are new they are not collected in print anywhere but here so it is a great book to have if you love these stories And the tale don't judge a book by it's cover is as true today as it was back in the day. whoever thinks that a book about eccentric baseball players is kid friendly really doesn't know much about baseball at all no matter what the cover looks like, my prime examples are Wade Boggs a sexaholic who required a woman and a large bucket of KFC original recipe chicken before every game and The Buffalo Heads this group of red sox eccentrics are the farthest from kid friendly they were drugged up adulterers. This book is great for fans of the personality of the ballplayers and is not the same old memoirs like every other baseball book. A must buy for any baseball fan but not kid friendly
