not the greatest collection of stories but a good read

Review: Tales from the Dugout: The Greatest True Baseball Stories Ever Told

User Review - Goodreads

I enjoyed these anecdotes particularly because so many of such stories seem to be frozen in the 50s or 60s. By contrast, these included many players I remember from "my" era of the late 80s and early 90s.
