Synopsis If you’re looking for someone to write the book on the greatest hitters of all time, you want a Stan Musial, a Hank Aaron, or a Willie Mays. If you want a book on baseball eccentrics, you need look not further than Bill Spaceman Lee. His qualifications are impeccable: Lee is to quirkiness what Picasso was to painting and what Pavarotti is to tenors. Lee has rounded up 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. Not only does he describe their most bizarre antics in often-hilarious detail, but he offers his own unique thoughts on their particular genre of eccentricity. So sit back and let your mind wander to the days when baseball was much more than a business, a time when baseball was fun and players treated it as a game.
