Review of
Baseball
Wit, by Bill Adler
Five out of five stars
The funniest sports book I have ever read
Baseball is unlike
any other sport in that the people who make their living in it seem to be
funnier than those in other sports. Adler has collected some of the best
anecdotes about this wonderful game and while knowledge of the sport is helpful
to enjoy them, it is not necessary. Of course, the two masters, Yogi Berra and
Casey Stengel, are well represented. Classics like, “It gets late early out
there” and “It’s so crowded, nobody goes there anymore” still make me laugh
after reading or hearing them scores of times.
I love baseball and I love to laugh. I
experienced both when I read this book. It is the funniest sports book that I
have ever read.
