Baseball And The Meaning Of Life [Hardcover]

Josh Leventhal (Author)


Available from these sellers.



Book Description

September 29, 2005

More than just a test of physical athleticism, baseball is a sport requiring deep mental strategy. This constant battle of wits has inspired some truly thought-provoking, at times head-scratching, observations from those who know the game best.

This is a philosophical and humorous compilation of musings and insights from players, managers, umpires, and other observers of the game, reflecting on the meaning of baseball, winning, and life. Teaming wise and witty quips from such figures as Casey Stengel, Satchel Paige, Hank Aaron, Nolan Ryan, and Bill “Spaceman” Lee with a wide variety of artwork, this collection is sure to amuse the baseball fan and philosopher in all of us.


Editorial Reviews

Review

OneMoreInning, October 2005 (circ. unavailable)
“It’s a little book but the scope is terrific. Leventhal has come up with a cracker jack of a book that is fun as well as informative.”
