جزییات کتاب
How cool to see I'm not the only crazy out there. And how much more Chris Epting has been able to put together than I ever could (and how much work he's saved me!). Here are some faves:
- The sandlot where Mickey Mantle was discovered (in Baxter Springs, OK)
- An historical marker for a ballfield where Abe Lincoln once played town ball
- The pond where Babe Ruth pushed his piano onto the ice
- All that's left of the Polo Grounds (a hidden stairway)
- The original Little League field
- Where Ron Necciai's 27-strikeout game happened
A couple of nits:
- Joe Jackson is from Greenville SC, not NC
- Lefty O'Doul was a hitter, not a pitcher
There were also a fair amount of typos. No biggee, though, for such a great book.
