Book excerpt: "Sports build character, right? Right. In this book, Louis Phillips sets out to prove that even if that platitude isn't true, it is at least true that characters build sports, especially the sport of baseball. Do you remember when the Charlotte Whips hired Eskimos as a come-on gimick? Do you remember when Paul Bunyan tried out for the majors? and what about Donut Harry, the poor guy who was traded for half a box of stale donuts? Remember him? After reading this collection, you'll never forget any of them. As Babe Ruth would have said, "Why read my statistics, when you can read Louis Phillips' book?""--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

It was just such little acts as this of rewarding persistence with a position that made Ted Sullivan. His success as a promoter stands second to none in baseballdom. The leagues he organized are too numerous to mention, and hundreds of players owe their livelihood to him. In the games Ted would always appear in uniform and coach his men from the lines. His "Texas Steer" club had such a lead for the pennant at Dallas in 1895, that he would very frequently play in the game himself. One day at San Antonio Ted announced that he would pitch. We all looked upon this as a joke, but sure enough into the box went Ted. The San Antonio team fairly ran into themselves getting up to the plate for a shot at Ted's curves, but inning after inning went by with Ted still in the box. Ted and the umpire, who was working behind the pitcher, were fairly bursting with hilarity. "Here comes Bullet-proof Ned," Ted would shout, as a San Antonio batsman would appear at the plate. The batsman would grit his teeth and go out on an easy fly ball. The San Antonio batsmen, in fact, all of us, commenced to wonder how an old chap like Ted could last an entire game.
