[close] Ray Chapman was the only player ever killed during a major league game. He was hit in the head by a a pitcher named Carl Mays. The book recounts the event. What is really good about the book is the way it delves into the way baseball was played in a different age and time. I have read a lot of baseball books, Ask me a title and I have probably read it. This is one of the better ones I have read.
