This book brings to life the many odd, eccentric, and bizarre characters of baseball from the 1800s through the Deadball Era. While many stories are about the game's greats such as John McGraw, Frank Chance, and Rube Waddell, the exploits of little-known players like J.A. Brown, Sleepy Bill Burns, and Jack Hendricks are covered as well.
