Back Cover Copy
Baseball and ghost stories are as American as apple pie. Haunted Baseball combines both in this fun and freaky collection of otherworldly yarns.
Assembled from baseball players, stadium personnel, umpires, front-office folks, and fans, the tales told here explore the spooky connection between baseball and the paranormal. We learn of the Curse of the Billy Goat that still haunts the Chicago Cubs, of hidden passageways within the depths of Dodger Stadium, and of the spirits of legendary stars that inspire modern-day players at Yankee Stadium. We hear why Johnny Damon believes in ghosts and how the memories of a 9/11 hero inspired Ken Griffey Jr. to hit a home run against the Phillies—a team against which he’d never even gotten a hit! There are the stories of how Sam Rice settled a decades-old baseball controversy with a message from beyond the grave and how the late Roberto Clemente had premonitions of his own death in a plane crash. With a wealth of anecdotes that have never before been told, the authors present an entertaining and eerie look at our national pastime.
Reader Reviews
If you're a baseball fan, you'll love this one - whether you believe in ghosts or not. It's as much about baseball tradition and folklore as it is about spooks. And unlike the typical baseball history books, there's a lot of information from current and upcoming players. For this reason, I probably would not recommend this book to someone who doesn't like baseball. There are many interesting ghost stories in it, but there are also fairly long segments that only a baseball fan will enjoy. (It's certainly worth a look for anyone, but there are a lot of other books of true ghost stories that would be a higher priority for a non-baseball fan.) And don't worry - even though the book is written by a Yankee fan and a Red Sox fan, other teams are covered, too. It's not all-AL East, like some national sports channels we know. ;-) This one is great fun. Highly recommended.
