This is a philosophical and humorous compilation of musings and insights from players, managers, umpires, and other observers of the game, reflecting on the meaning of baseball, winning, and life. Teaming wise and witty quips from such figures as Casey Stengel, Satchel Paige, Hank Aaron, Nolan Ryan, and Bill “Spaceman” Lee with a wide variety of artwork, this collection is sure to amuse the baseball fan and philosopher in all of us.
