Download or read book Rob Neyer s Big Book of Baseball Blunders written by Rob Neyer and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BLOOPER: BALL SQUIRTS THROUGH BILLY BUCKNER'S LEGS. BLUNDER: BILLY BUCKNER'S MANAGER LEFT HIM IN THE GAME. Baseball bloopers are fun; they're funny, even. A pitcher slips on the mound and his pitch sails over the backstop. An infielder camps under a pop-up...and the ball lands ten feet away. An outfielder tosses a souvenir to a fan...but that was just the second out, and runners are circling the bases (and laughing). Without these moments, the highlight reels wouldn't be nearly as entertaining. Baseball blunders, however, can be tragic, and they will leave diehard fans asking why...why...why? Rob Neyer's Big Book of Baseball Blunders does its best to answer all those whys, exploring the worst decisions and stupidest moments of managers, general managers, owners, and even commissioners. As he did in his Big Book of Baseball Lineups, Rob Neyer provides readers with a fascinating examination of baseball's rich history, this time through the lens of the game's sometimes hilarious, often depressing, and always perplexing blunders. · Which ill-fated move cost the Chicago White Sox a great hitter and the 1919 World Series? · What was Babe Ruth thinking when he became the first (and still the only) player to end a World Series by getting caught trying to steal? · Did playing one-armed Pete Gray in 1945 cost the Browns a pennant? · How did winning a coin toss lead to the Dodgers losing the National League pennant on Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard 'round the World"? · How damaging was the Frank Robinson-for-Milt Pappas deal, really? · Which of Red Sox manager Don Zimmer's mistakes in 1978 was the worst? · Which Yankees trade was even worse than swapping Jay Buhner for Ken Phelps? · What non-move cost Buck Showalter a job and gave Joe Torre the opportunity of a lifetime? · Game 7, 2003 ALCS: Pedro winds up to throw his 123rd pitch...what were you thinking? These are just a few of the legendary (and not-so-legendary) blunders that Neyer analyzes, always with an eye on what happened, why it happened, and how it changed the fickle course of history. And in separate chapters, Neyer also reviews some of the game's worst trades and draft picks and closely examines all the teams that fell just short of first place. Another in the series of Neyer's Big Books of baseball history, Baseball Blunders should win a place in every devoted fan's library.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHO SAYS BASEBALL CAN'T BE FUNNY? IT'S THE FIRST PARODY OF A SPORTS BOOK EVER!You've heard Weird Al's parodies of pop songs. You've seen SNL's parodies of TV shows. You've read the Harvard Lampoon's parodies of books like "The Hunger Games." But what about sports? Why can't sports be funny too?Veteran comedy writer Steve Lookner (SNL, MADtv) proves that sports can indeed be hilarious with the FIRST-EVER parody of a sports book! Lookner takes Mariano Rivera's book The Closer and transforms it into a comedy grand slam: THE RELIEF FISHER.THE RELIEF FISHER is the book Mariano Rivera would've written if he'd lived the funniest life ever! In Mariano's own words, you'll hear what it was like growing up in a fishing village and learning to play a version of baseball in which all the equipment is made of fish...even the gloves! You'll go inside the Rivera family's shack as Mariano signs his first contract with the Yankees, and the Yankees pay him in sea bass. And you'll be there when Mariano sees a radar gun for the first time, and thinks it's a ray gun from Star Trek and that the Yankees' scout is going to vaporize him.THE RELIEF FISHER also takes you inside the dugout for a hilarious insider's perspective on the great Yankee teams of the last two decades. You'll hear about the time Derek Jeter made a throwing error because he was grabbing a girl's butt with his other hand. You'll watch as Paul O'Neill destroys a water cooler because he only hit a double rather than a home run. You'll learn about the Yankees' secret practice of putting Yogi Berra's embalmed body in a wheelchair to make people think he's still alive. And you'll be there at Yankee Stadium when Mariano attempts to kill all the band members of Metallica for writing "Enter Sandman". From A-Rod to Cano, from Tino to Torre, jokes about all of the Yankees greats are here! And also jokes about the worst Yankee ever, Jim Leyritz.Last but certainly not least, you'll get the hysterical perspective on baseball and on life that can only come from (the parody version of) Mariano Rivera. Mariano will tell you:--Why Red Sox fans are the stupidest people in America--Why his all time saves record is much more important than Derek Jeter's 3,000 hits--Why no one in baseball listens to the pitching coach--Why Edgar Martinez is the worst human being in the worldIt's no surprise that it took the greatest closer ever to inspire the funniest sports book ever. Whether you're a Mariano Rivera fan, a baseball fan, a fan of fish, or just a fan of laughing your stirrups off, you'll love THE RELIEF FISHER!
