And this IS a funny book!

There was a time when baseball was truly America's favorite sport, and this book is an excellent choice for those who want to relive a slice of those times. It is from a singular perspective, but fortunately for us, the man telling the stories can find humor all around him. It is the kind of book that you can take to bed for a good continuous all night read, or put it in the bathroom for people to read during short "sittings" although they may stay a little longer than usual... I won't relay any of the stories it contains, because that would be wrong, but suffice it to say that it will certainly put a smile on the face of any baseball fan. Make the small investment it takes to get a copy, and enjoy the moment.

I recently was given a second edition copy (1960) signed copy of this book and would like to sell it.
