It's like deja vu all over again Just in time for the 2016 Baseball Season
Baseball is a sport that naturally lends itself to oddities, rituals, superstitions, and unique happenings. It's a long season and a lot can happen
Here's a sampling of what you'll find in this unique book of obscure oddities:
* A foul ball crashed into a fan's face. As she was being carried out on a stretcher, she was hit by another ball hit by the same batter
* One Major League player sleeps with his bats.
* Hear about the error-prone outfielder who received a standing ovation for catching a hotdog wrapper on the fly.
* No fans were allowed to attend a 2015 Major League game due to local safety concerns, and the game went on in front of 46,000 empty seats
* There was a four-day period when every American League game was rained out.
* A player pitches a perfect game and goes home to find that his wife filed divorce papers while he was making baseball history.
* The MLB team with the highest payroll pays out $57 million more than three of its league's teams - combined.
* In a special "Bat" section, we learn that each team orders 150 bats a year for each of its hitters.
In all, this new volume of Baseball Oddities & Trivia presents more than 350 fun, all new, weird and strange Believe It or Nots plus more than 50 illlustrations drawn by John Graziano, Ripley's official cartoonist.
Tim O'Brien and Ripley's take readers on another journey down the offbeat and bizarre, but 100% factual road through the world of baseball players, coaches, owners, teams, stadiums and fans No one does the odd and trivial better than Ripley
Ripley's Believe It or Not Baseball Oddities & Trivia - Ball Two is far from a conventional trivia book. It's an oddities publication with the spirit of a traditional Ripley book throughout With a whole lot of totally unbelievable and mind-boggling facts, this Believe It or Not book stands out from the rest in sports publishing.
While best known for his artistic endeavors and the coining of the popular Believe It or Not phrase, Robert Ripley's move to New York City in early 1914 marked his determination to play professional baseball. His career with the New York Giants in 1914 ended abruptly in his very first game when a hard-hit line drive smashed his pitching arm. With his baseball career apparently over, he landed an illustrators job at the New York Globe in the sports department where he was soon combining his passion for sports with his love for the odd and unusual.
This entire book is dedicated to the bizarre, colorful and entertaining universe of baseball oddities and trivia.
Описание: Mind-effing factoids and quirky commentary that give the traditional trivia book a fun reboot Anyone who s ever gone to a bar trivia night has had their soul crushed by that one team that always wins. Its members spout off the most random and esoteric pieces of trivia as if they re common knowledge. Now, those four people have written "Good Job, Brain " Packed with over 100 mind-blowing stories, hilarious mnemonics, and tricky puzzles, this book is the ultimate nutrition for big brains. Fans of the podcast will love playing their favorite segments from the show. There s Brad Pitt or Lasers, the quiz that asks which of two unrelated objects came first. Another game, William Fakespeare, has readers identify pop songs based on lyricswhich should be easy, except those lyrics have been translated into Shakespearean English. "Good Job, Brain " also features tons of brand-new content not from the show, including puzzles that make sense only on paper, original poems to help remember popular trivia, and stories about flying tailors and aimlessly traveling ships full of garbage. This book is a must-have for any trivia lover."
