The Cheater's Guide to Baseball
"It's all right here, from Vaseline to superballs to licorice, from Arnold Rothstein to Gaylord Perry to Sammy Sosa - a book sure to find its place in the pantheon of underground manuals. Wielding his sardonic humor like a freshly corked bat-lightly yet forcefully - Derek Zumsteg knocks it out of the park. The Cheater's Guide to Baseball is funny, true and entirely original." -- Jeremy Schaap, ESPN correspondent and author of CINDERELLA MAN and TRIUMPH

How do you explain this Mr. Zumsteg?

I’m supposed to buy this book when it’s not even factchecked properly? Check out this statement: “He managed the 1976 team to an American League championship and two World Series victories in a row.” No, Billy Martin managed two AL titles in a row and one WS title (1977). During the 1978 season he was canned in favor of Bob Lemon who managed the NYY to that 1978 World Series title. Come on, guy, get it right!

w/r/t the titles: I’ll add that to the errors and errata, that’s clearly a screw-up on my part.
