Jam-packed with cool baseball trivia, history-making records, unforgettable moments, and wacky true tales of your favorite games, players and events. This book hits a grand slam right out of the park! A perfect gift for the die-hard fan of America's favorite pasttime. Baseball is rich in anecdotes about team superstitions (from the black cat that haunted the Cubs to the "Curse of the Babe"), the antics of the superstars, and other facts that come out of left field. Think today's umpires have a temper? Wait till you read about the 19th century New Jersey ump who pulled out a gun and shoved it in the face of a player who came at him with a bat. Or about the time three Brooklyn Dodger runners found themselves at third base--together. Fans will laugh, they'll learn--and they won't put this down!

Baseball is a Funny Game
A "Funny Game" in two ways; as in hilarious and/or strange. You can see something you've never seen before almost every time you go to the ballpark. This book proves it.

Looks great and love it
I bought this for a friends kid that loves baseball. I was a little nervous when I bought it because he doesn’t like to read but he absolutely loves it and reads it almost everyday. A little smaller than I had thought it would be but it is a thick book with great stories and cool records so overall I would definitely recommend this product if your child or someone you know loves baseball!
