Description
A round up of the most outrageous group of malcontents, characters, rebels, nut jobs, reprobates, wing-nuts, wackos, space cadets, head cases, goofs, free thinkers, and oddballs who ever livened up the grand old game of baseball, this collection not only describes their most bizarre antics in often-hilarious detail, but also includes the unique thoughts of Bill “Spaceman” Lee, a man known for his colorful quotes and offbeat personality.

Editorial Reviews
"This is a laugh-out-loud collection . . . Lee never had much of a fastball as a pitcher, but he writes a 95-mile-per-hour book." —Booklist magazine
