Book Reviews of Baseball Eccentrics: A Definitive Look at the Most Entertaining, Outrageous and Unforgettable Characters in the Game
Book Review: Great Collection of eccentric baseball stories heard over the years
Summary: 5 Stars
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

Summary of Baseball Eccentrics: A Definitive Look at the Most Entertaining, Outrageous and Unforgettable Characters in the Game
Baseball Eccentrics is a celebration of the characters who have graced the game over the years, as told by one of the biggest of them all. Bill Lee also decries the scarcity of interesting personalities in today's game and examines some of the roots causes for this lack of spontaneity. His hilarious collection is a tribute to flakes past and also a call to today's players to loosen up and have some fun.Humor Books
