Dickson Does It Again

Another home run of a book. Nobody writes about the national pastime and language better than Dickson.
A brilliant piece of entertaining scholarship
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Dickson, with help from hundreds of eager baseball writers and scholars, has again produced a delightful, thorough and anecdotal volume of diamond terms ancient and timely. I've authored eight baseball history books myself, and I bow to Dickson's accomplishment. It's certainly a historically great contribution to the joys and learning of baseball.
