Sommario/riassunto

"This book tells the stories of some of the players, coaches, managers and broadcasters who had the most fun in the Major Leagues and made fans laugh out loud. The author recounts tales that capture the character of unusual and offbeat players, unique and engaging personalities and the succession of eccentrics who were dubbed "Clown Prince of Baseball.""--
