Summary
Haunted Baseballis an anthology of "otherworldly" stories collected from baseball players, stadium personnel, umpires, front-office folks, and fans, exploring the sometimes amusing and sometimes spooky connection between baseball and the paranormal. Stories include the legendary "Curse of the Bambino"; the frightening story of the visiting-team hotel in Milwaukee, which many MLB stars claim is haunted; the poltergeist that is said to frequent the Anaheim Angels visitors' clubhouse; and the posthumous return of Tom Yawkey to Fenway Park. Whether you believe in the paranormal or not, this book will certainly intrigue even the most avid skeptic.
