Calling All Baseball Geeks! Is your off-field knowledge of the great game as sound as your batting averages and pinch hits? Do you know how many baseball players have been buried in their uniforms or the number of home plate marriages that have been performed?

So, brush up on your baseball trivia and relive some of the sport's greatest moments and indulge in more than 200 pages of facts, stories and stats. Check out the countless hilarious anecdotes--learn what player ran the bases facing backwards (Jimmy Piersall), who was the only player born at sea (Ed Porray) and what town in Iowa has produced 12 major leaguers (Norway). This book delivers a home run for both the novice and expert baseball fan. As the wise man once said, you never know what you're going to see at the ballpark!
