Klappentext

Welcome to zany side of the tracks!Baseball Hall of Famers have their Cooperstown... and now Baseball Hall of Shamers have their Blooperstown. Yes, the boys of blunder are forever enshrined in this madcap memorial to our national pastime... from The Hallowed Hall of Fielding Fiascoes to The Goofiest Gallery of Base-running Boners.----------- The Baseball Hall of Shame (TM)----------- Here in one gut-busting book, the Baseball Hall of Shame(TM) selection committee pays tribute to Blooperstown's funniest: The battiest batters, the most mind-boggling mental miscues, the silliest ballpark promotions, the screwiest fan behavior, and much, much more. Plus, the committee inducts its first new class of Hall of Shamers in twenty years! Among the inglorious immortals: ----------- Pitcher Burleigh Grimes, who was so mean that he threw a beanball at the on-deck hitter! ----------- New inductee Ken Griffey Jr., who paid off a bet for a steak dinner by sneaking a cow into manager Lou Piniella's office! ----------- Outfielder Ping Bodie, who out-ate Percy the ostrich for the spaghetti-eating championship of the world! ----------- New inductee Manny Ramirez, who abandoned left field to go to the bathroom-during a game! ----------- Lou "The Mad Russian" Novikoff, who insisted his wife taunt him from the stands-because he believed it made him hit better! ----------- And new inductee David "Big Papi" Ortiz, who suffered a payback for the pranks he pulled on teammates when he unwittingly donned underwear smeared with peanut butter! ----------- Filled with more than 200 stories and packed with photos, The Baseball Hall of Shame(TM): The Best of Blooperstown is the game's most hilarious homage ever assembled, and a fitting testament to the Hall's motto: "Fame and shame are part of the game."
