"A fascinating and hilarious collection. It is something that should be sandwiched between Marcel Proust and Forever Amber on every bookshelf." -- Tallulah Bankhead, The New York Times
Product Description
These tales of weird happenings and eccentric characters on the baseball diamond will delight fans of every age and allegiance. The soul of the game is in its stories, and in this book are some you'll tell for the rest of your life. Whether it's the story of how the dead man scored a run or how an outfielder dove into a river and swam with the ball in his mouth to make an out, these anecdotes will bring a smile to your face and rekindle nostalgia for our national pastime. They recall a simpler time and a pure love of the game.
Ira L. Smith's meticulous research brought to light the oddest incidents in baseball's history. Quite peculiar to begin with, these stories were then made all the more amusing by H. Allen Smith's comic genius, forming this book of unforgettable, irresistible baseball lore.
Low and Inside consists of stories from the earliest days of the sport until 1915. Don't miss this book's companion volume, which covers similar oddities and curiosities through 1951: THREE MEN ON THIRD.
