Amusing look at Baseball
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is a very amusing look at some funny occurrences in baseball. I particularly liked when Lenny Randle tried to blow a ball foul, when Dave Winfield finally "hit" his cutoff man, the antics of the bullpen squads, and Will McEnaney putting his twin brother in uniform so the former could sit in the clubhouse and watch football on tv. There are many such funny moments here, as well as the antics of umpires, and a recounting of some of the worst of baseball's trades. Still, not every occurrence is humorous. I saw little humor in pitcher Ron Perranoski squirting an autograph-seeking kid, Amos Otis' years of corked bats, nor Pepper Martin's throwing at batters that had dared to bunt on him. Still, most of the stories are humorous, and this concise book should make readers smile. Also, if the first two editions are as good as this one, they should be recommended as well.
