Published by Random House in
1966, "Strange But True Baseball
Stories" by Furman Bishery, features
amazing, funny, and offbeat moments in
baseball history. About a midget who
played in a major-league game. A dog
who was listed in a box score. A
mischievous player whose antics led to
a Hollywood contract. A manager who put
his batboy into a game. Fascinating
facts and photos.
Twenty-six wonderful episodes from the annals of baseball. Among them are
tales of inspiring personalities who
overcame great odds like Corporal
Brissie or Bert Shepard or Pete Gray.
There's the story of how Stan Musial
literally somersaulted from a career as
pitcher to immortality as a hitter. Or,
the frustrating story, of Harvey Haddix
who pitched 12 perfect innings and lost
a ball game. Or, the Miracle Braves who
came from last place on July 4, 1914,
to win the pennant, winning 60 and
losing 16 in the last half of the
season.
The book was published for both the Random House, Major League, and Little
league libraries of baseball books.
