The most witty and insightful things ever said about America's favorite pastime.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Some of the most enduring things about America’s favorite pastime are the rich memories and inspiring stories. Here, writers, sports enthusiasts, and the boys of summer themselves—from Hank Aaron, Yogi Berra, and Moe Berg to Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, and Mark McGwire—wax nostalgic about the wins, losses, champions, and underdogs that have captured the hearts of Americans for decades. Whether you root for the National or the American league, these timeless anecdotes will have you heading to the park or tuning in to your favorite broadcast.
