THIS IS A COLLECTION OF SOME HUMOROUS AND OFF THE WALL STORIES ABOUT SOME OF BASBALL'S BIG NAMES. MOST OF THE PLAYERS COVERED ARE A PAGE OR TWO AND ARE ENTERTAINING. THIS IS NOTHING EARTH MOVING BUT I LIKED IT AND SUGGEST IT FOR ALL BASEBALL FANS. A NICE RAINY DAY FILLER.

Summary of Tales from the Dugout : The Greatest True Baseball Stories Ever Told

Batter up--here comes the most memorable collection of anecdotes about the national pastime ever assembled. Tales from the Dugout brings together never-before-told stories from baseball personalities such as Roger Maris, Ken Griffey Jr., Pete Rose, Phil Rizzuto, and Gaylord Perry in this illustrated, one-of-a-kind compendium.

If baseball from a fan's perspective is the answer to a lazy summer day, then Tales from the Dugout is the answer to lazy days the rest of the year. Pick it up and open to any page and you'll find the delightful yarns, quotes, foibles, and folklore that wrap the grand old game like so much twine around the innards of a baseball. Bobby Brown, Yankee third baseman of yore, explains why teammate Yogi Berra had such an unconventional strike zone; an unassuming North Carolina pitcher named Jimmy Hunter reveals the truth behind his nickname, "Catfish"; and major-league prankster Ken Griffey Jr., in a rare turn of the tables, plays the April Fool. With more than 150 anecdotes from America's national pastime, this memorable collection is the perfect antidote to rainouts and winter blues.
