Baseball and ghost stories are as American as apple pie. Haunted Baseball combines both with this fun and freaky collection of otherworldly yarns. Collected from baseball players, stadium personnel, umpires, front-office folks, and fans, the tales told here explore the spooky connection between baseball and the paranormal, including Babe Ruth sightings at a former brothel, the Curse of the Billy Goat that still haunts the Chicago Cubs, the unexplained occurrences at the visiting-team hotel in Milwaukee, and the spirit of a beloved Cleveland Indians trainer reincarnated as a seagull. We learn of hidden passageways within the depths of Dodger Stadium, and of the spirits of legendary stars that inspire modern-day players at Yankee Stadium. We hear why Johnny Damon believes in ghosts, and how the memories of a 9/11 hero inspired Ken Griffey Jr. to hit a home run against the Phillies—a team against which he’d never even gotten a hit! There’s the story of how Sam Rice settled a decades-old baseball controversy with a message from beyond the grave, and how the late Roberto Clemente had premonitions of his own death in a plane crash. With a wealth of anecdotes that have never before been told before, the authors present an entertaining and eerie look at our national pastime.

Industry Reviews

Did a friend's Ouija board predict Lou Gehrig's demise? Did Robert Clemente have a startling premonition of his early death in an airplane crash? Is a goat's curse really the reason for the longtime futility of the Chicago Cubs in seeking the World Series? Filled with anecdotes and superstitions relating to yesterday's and today's teams and stars, these are fun, strange tales that will be savored, especially if read aloud around a campfire. -Library Journal
