Inhaltsangabe

This is an annotated and copiously illustrated edition of 24 baseball stories by Ring W. Lardner, including the six classic stories later collected as You Know Me Al. Two-thirds of the stories describe real teams, real players, and real situations, and the annotation and illustrations serve to identify the references of early twentieth-century major league baseball that Lardner covered as a reporter.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

“24 humorous and revealing baseball stories [are] collected in this beautifully illustrated volume. . . Offers photos of the real players mentioned in the stories and footnotes about real events. A gem.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“Meticulous notes help the modern reader laugh all the harder at lines like ‘Crawford got the luckiest three-base hit I ever see’ by noting that Wahoo Sam Crawford of the Detroit Tigers was the most prolific triples hitter in baseball history.”—New York Times Book Review
