I wish I hadn't sold my copy of Jewish Baseball Stars. It's a Short Shelf
(i.e., the one on top of the toilet tank) Special. The writing in that
books is so astonishingly awful -- every sportswriting cliche taken to
the nth degree and then mangled -- that it's funny.
Rusinow is the author, I think.
