Grand Slams is the Funniest Baseball Book Ever

Hi, I am Glenn Liebman and I am the author so I am hardly unbiased. I loved putting Grand Slams together. Over one thousands of baseball's greatest and meanest quotes. Some of my favorites include Casey Stengel talking about star pitcher and party animal Don Larsen who wrapped his car around a telephone poll at 5 am. during spring training. Casey said, "He was either out pretty late or up pretty early." Pitcher Dennis Lamp once said of outfielder Luis Polonia's defensive abilities--"If you hit Polonia 100 fly balls, you could make a movie out of it--Catch 22. Got to love the work ethic of hall of famer Hack Wilson who said about playing drunk--"I have never played drunk. Hungover, yes, but never drunk."If you like these quotes than there are 998 more waiting for you. Makes for a great gift idea for any baseball fan. (...) Thank you and enjoy the book.

hilarious -- great for the baseball fan

let's face it, this is a great gift for guys who love baseball. it's got quotes from the older players that are part of history (like yogi berra, babe ruth, joe torre), stuff that makes you think about the game and quotes that will just make your hair stand up on end (i.e. john rocker)... I'm buying 2 copies as gifts for father's day.
