Have to agree with the title, this is the
'Funniest Baseball Book Ever', well, to date anyway.
About a thousand or so one, or maybe two, liners,
about a dozen longer tales, a chapter on nicknames
and a chapter on practical jokes that can't be told
in a sentence or two.
Contains most of the usual suspects, Stengel, Berra,
Uecker, quite a few you kinda, sorta, suspect who they
might be, and it seems around 20% of them are by
some guy named Diego Musilli, never heard of him,
must be a friend of the authors.
All in all good stuff. Great for reading between
innings, at bats, or in any room of the house where
you might spend some time sitting. A good gift for
your favorite baseball fan.

Casey Stengel: "The sky's been there for years."
