Van Lingle Mungo: The Man, The Song, The Players

by Bill Nowlin, Lawrence Baldasarro, Joanne Hulbert, et al.

Frishberg's song "Van Lingle Mungo" listed 37 ballplayers in the lyrics. A different version contained three different names. That's a total of 40, and all 40 are represented with biographies in this book.
