Baseball history is full of unforgettable athletic achievements, heroic performers, and exhilarating moments that remind fans of everything they love about sports and honest competition. The Underground Baseball Encyclopedia: Baseball Stuff You Never Needed to Know and Can Certainly Live Without is NOT about any of those things. Instead, author Robert Schnakenberg takes you through a decidedly snarky trip through the game's rich history of buffoonery, thuggery, fashion missteps, ballpark promotions gone awry, batboys with metals claws for hands, afros, mustaches, mistresses, overzealous mascots, existence-of-dinosaurs deniers, indelible baseball-themed candy bars, and hundreds of other unbelievable-but-true aspects of America's national pastime. And did we mention the wife swapping?
