Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Edd Roush was ejected from a game for falling asleep in the outfield. Dan Friend played left field while dressed in a bathrobe. Outfielder Len Koenecke was killed attempting history's very first skyjacking. Pitchers Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich swapped not only their wives but their children, station wagons and pets.
Baseball's rich history is brimming with the weird, the bizarre, the hard to believe. Baseball's Most Wanted chronicles more than seven hundred of the most outlandish players, managers, and owners since the game began. Its seventy top-ten lists describe in humorous detail baseball's most inept players, strangest plays, worst practical jokes, most bizarre nicknames, stupidest trades, freakiest injuries, least known records, and much more. It even lists players who became murderers--and players who became politicians. Many of these anecdotes have been published here for the very first time. BASEBALL'S MOST WANTED is a quirky, irreverant look at the rich history of America's national pastime.

This isn't a book you take your time with -- it can be finished in a few hours and forgotten about not shortly after. The book is nothing more than a Top 10 list with a paragraph explaining each entry. The list covers trivia that goes from informative to hilarious to insightful to just strange -- subjects include Top 10 Politicians that played baseball, Top 10 Womenizers, Top 10 One Game Wonders, Top 10 Wild Pitchers, Top 10 Curses . . . . you get the idea. It's amusing enough and addictive. I'm surprised by how many friends have picked it up, read a few pages and then asked to borrow it.
