Description

Even the most ardent baseball fan will be amazed at the quirks, quips, and comments in Baseball Gold. Consisting entirely of bits and pieces of baseball's offbeat history, this volume covers teams and a myriad of players, owners, managers, and broadcasters-from their exploits on the field to those behind clubhouse doors. It can even be picked up in the middle and read backward-one nugget at a time.
