Book Excerpt: 
. . .I had a kind of misty veil before my eyes, in which I saw that lanky Rube magnified into a glorious figure. I saw the pennant waving, and the gleam of a white cottage through the trees, and a trim figure waiting at the gate. Then I rolled into the dressing room.

Somehow it seemed strange to me. Most of the players were stretched out in peculiar convulsions. Old Spears sat with drooping head. Then a wild flaming-eyed giant swooped upon me. With a voice of thunder he announced:

"I'm a-goin' to lick you, too!"

Have you ever read Zane Grey? Have you ever read a Zane Grey baseball story? Ya'll it's Field of Dreams time. The copyright is 1920 by Grosset & Dunlap, 1915 by Mc Clure Newspaper Syndicate!

I wasn’t expecting to like this book but I did, it made me laugh.

This is actually a short story about baseball, one of Zane Gray’s other interests besides the old west. It is a humorous look at baseball in the 1920’s. Imagine a team having three outfielders with red hair and personalities that had as much flair as their red hair. One of them had a reputation for

A really fun look back at the world of baseball when every town had several teams. These stories of minor league ball and town ball take you back. Neat read.

Light lunch-time reading.

I grew up watching the Pacific Coast League Los Angeles Angels, before the Dodgers moved to town, so, having liked some of Zane Grey's Westerns

Stilted and dated in places but good early baseball.

Well-written crisp narratives about minor-league baseball teams, with underlying plot device usually managers dealing with characters within and outside their teams.

Would have 5 stars except the Kindle edition has a few gaps and mis-imagings. Still, try to use an e-reader: much of the language is ar

Some rather interesting stories but not that big of a baseball fan.
