Description

Glen Waggoner (au); Kathleen Moloney (au); Hugh Howard (au). Fascinating, informative, good old American fun -- this book illuminates rule by rule the dry-as toast “Official Rules of Baseball” with anecdotes of the sport’s most legendary figures, outrageous ballpark antics, & more vital statistics than Albert Belle can shake a corked bat at. If you’ve ever wondered how Fred “Bonehead” Merkle got such an unflattering moniker or why Mark McGwire’s official 66th home run of his 1998 record-setting season was actually his 67th -- this book will provide you with all the entertaining facts, history, & lore of our national pastime. Appendix: Major League Rule Changes: 1845-1999. Reggie Jackson says, “If you love baseball, you’ll love this book!” Black & white illustrations.
