From classic Hall-of-Famers to today's up-and-coming superstars, this memorable collection includes baseball players from the past and present such as Cal Ripken Jr., Willie Mays, Mark McGwire, Pete Rose, Sammy Sosa, and Ted Williams.

Reading these delightful stories from the great and the almost great, you'll be charmed by Phillies sportscaster Richie Ashburn's creative way of earning himself free pizzas in the broadcasting booth, enchanted by the legend of how Ty Cobb's dentures ended up in the home of a suburban housewife, and tickled by the always comical Yogi Berra's take on the streaking fad of the 1970s.

For the stories behind the story, this hilarious and often heartwarming compilation is sure to entertain and inspire baseball fans of all ages.
