Summaries and Reviews
Summary
Presents a collection of anecdotes and facts that attempt to debunk many of the game's most famous legends and beliefs.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Michael Kun  Pulitzer Prize-nominated author  and Howard Bloom  former newspaper reporter and columnist  explain that, contrary to popular belief, a walk is not always as good as a hit. They argue that itâs not always wrong to root against the home team. They contend that the Houston Astrosâ jerseys were not the ugliest jerseys ever worn in the major leagues. They rail against the common misconception that Tinkers-to-Evers-to-Chance was a great double play combination. They insist that Shoeless Joe Jackson did not bat right-handed, he did not go barefoot, and he did not refuse to accept money to throw the World Series. They heap scorn upon those who believe Joe DiMaggio was ever ÂThe Greatest Living Baseball Player.â And they offer a sound rebuke to anyone who thinks a baseball book canât be smart, funny and informative all at the same time.
The Baseball Uncyclopedia is a witty and irreverent guide that debunks some of the mythology, opinions and widely held beliefs about baseball that fans have clung to for generations.
