This book contains 250 anecdotes, including this one: Harry "Steamboat" Johnson was a flamboyant minor-league umpire who wrote and published an autobiography, "Standing the Gaff." Before games, boys would sell copies of the book to fans in the grandstand. Often, the fans would become angry at Steamboat and throw copies of his book at him. No problem. He simply gathered up the copies of his book and sold them again at the next game.
