Wits, Flakes, and Clowns is, I truly believe, the funniest book on baseball's colorful characters ever. I say that because I researched it for around 25 years and during that time, I conducted exclusive interviews with tons of players, coaches, managers, etc. (about 150 in all) to collect funny stories and I mixed that in with the best stories/anecdotes/quotes from the scores of books I've read by other writers. The result: 135 colorful characters and their funny quotes, pranks, and antics.
