This book features some of the strangest, funniest, and most bizarre baseball incidents and trick plays ever, including a time a catcher fooled a baserunner from third base into thinking he had throw a ball into the outfield, but when that runner tried to dash home, the catcher had the ball in his mitt. The trick was this: the catcher had thrown not a ball, but a peeled potato, of all things, into left field! Once a batter hit a clean single to LEFT FIELD, but it turned out it wasn't a hit as he was thrown out at first base by the left fielder--unbelievable. Once an outfielder did a sort of soccer header and a fly ball became a most unusual home run. This book even includes great examples of baseball humor and funny, colorful quotes from some highly interesting baseball names.
