Title: A Baseball Treasure
Product review: I have been fascinated with Waddell since boyhood when I read of his almost unbelievable antics in an era when baseball was not the big business it is today. This book documents the zany and troubled life of a one-of-a-kind American Original whom Ken Burns called "the strangest man ever to play." He died tragically young at age 37, never having won a World Series, missing the 1905 Series after injuring a shoulder wrestling for a straw hat a month before. If you like Waddell and are moved by his tragicomic spirit, read "Brass Bonanza Plays Again", a novel where Waddell returns as a guardian angel of another "goat", a hockey goon who causes his city (Hartford) not only to lose a championship but also its team.
