Baseball's Most Fun Frivolities - Paperback

Baseball is fun.

That's really all there is to this book, which dives into the niche world of baseball frivolities and explores some of rabbit holes around baseball stories and statistics.

Read all about how one player's ultra-rare 4-homer night was just the 341st most valuable of his career, deep-dive into the in's and out's of actually hitting .400, explore why one baseball card referred to a Cy Young winner as "setting a record for futility," and learn about the single most clutch-hitting game ever - and how it came in a losing effort!

All this and much more - there's something in here for every fan. Bowen touches on old-school and new-school statistics and digs into oddities from the nineteenth century into the 2020's.
