"Rob Neyer is the best of the new generation of sportswriters. He knows baseball history like a child knows his piggy bank. He knows how to pick it up and shake it and make what he needs fall out."- Bill James, "Rob Neyer is the best of the new generation of sportswriters. He knows baseball history like a child knows his piggy bank. He knows how to pick it up and shake it and make what he needs fall out." -- Bill James, "Rob Neyer is the best of the new generation of sportswriters. He knows baseball history like a child knows his piggy bank. He knows how to pick it up and shake it and make what he needs fall out." - Bill James, Michael LewisAuthor of "Liar's Poker" and "Moneyball"Rob Neyer is one of those writers who can make his subject more interesting than anyone ever imagined it could be. He has written a delightful book for ardent baseball fans, but even people with a casual interest in baseball will find something to think about here.

Synopsis
BLOOPER: BALL SQUIRTS THROUGH BILLY BUCKNER'S LEGS.BLUNDER: BILLY BUCKNER'S MANAGER LEFT HIM IN THE GAME. Baseball bloopers are fun; they're "funny," even. A pitcher slips on the mound and his pitch sails over the backstop. An infielder camps under a pop-up...and the ball lands ten feet away. An outfielder tosses a souvenir to a fan...but that was just the second out, and runners are circling the bases (and laughing). Without these moments, the highlight reels wouldn't be nearly as entertaining. Baseball "blunders," however, can be tragic, and they will leave diehard fans asking "why...why...why?" "Rob Neyer's Big Book of Baseball Blunders" does its best to answer all those whys, exploring the worst decisions and stupidest moments of managers, general managers, owners, and even commissioners. As he did in his "Big Book of Baseball Lineups," Rob Neyer provides readers with a fascinating examination of baseball's rich history, this time through the lens of the game's sometimes hilarious, often depressing, and always perplexing blunders. - Which ill-fated move cost the Chicago White Sox a great hitter and the 1919 World Series?- What was Babe Ruth thinking when he became the first (and still the only) player to end a World Series by getting caught trying to steal?- Did playing one-armed Pete Gray in 1945 cost the Browns a pennant?- How did winning a coin toss lead to the Dodgers losing the National League pennant on Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard 'round the World"?- How damaging was the Frank Robinson-for-Milt Pappas deal, really?- Which of Red Sox manager Don Zimmer's mistakes in 1978 was the worst?- Which Yankees trade was evenworse than swapping Jay Buhner for Ken Phelps?- What non-move cost Buck Showalter a job and gave Joe Torre the opportunity of a lifetime?- Game 7, 2003 ALCS: Pedro winds up to throw his 123rd pitch...what were "you" thinking? These are just a few of the legendary (and not-so-legendary) blunders that Neyer analyzes, always with an eye on what happened, why it happened, and how it changed the fickle course of history. And in separate chapters, Neyer also reviews some of the game's worst trades and draft picks and closely examines all the teams that fell "just" short of first place. Another in the series of Neyer's Big Books of baseball history, "Baseball Blunders" should win a place in every devoted fan's library., Looking at every position on every major-league team, the ESPN.com baseball columnist presents a series of lineups for each franchise and explores the careers of players both famous and obscure. 25 photos., BLOOPER: BALL SQUIRTS THROUGH BILLY BUCKNER'S LEGS.

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good.
