About Baseball Humor a Collection of Stories from Master Storytellers, Edited and Narrated by Ward Paxton
Humor is the best part of baseball. The stories in Baseball Humor: A Collection of Stories by Master Storytellers explore the struggles, ambitions, greed, romances, and quirks of the players, managers, wives, and fans. Included are stories by some of the best humorists and satirists of the 20th century like “The Pitcher and the Plutocrat” by P G Wodehouse, “Horseshoes” and “Alibi Ike” by Ring Lardner, “The Red-Headed Outfield” and “The Rube” by Zane Gray, and many others. These 14 endearing and amusing tales were originally published in the 1910s and 1920s at a time when Major League baseball dominated professional sports and were THE source of entertainment. While the material is from a hundred years ago the human spirit that comes out rings true still today.
