Baseball Wit is amusing, barbed, surprising, scathing, and just plain fun. This is a collection of more than 450 wise, salty, ironic, irreverent, and above all, very funny comments on the great American game. Perfect for any baseball fan--a little book rife with smirks, chuckles, and great big belly laughs. Baseball Wit records the words of hundreds of players, managers, coaches, owners, umpires, and sportswriters as they praise and defame one another, tout themselves and put themselves down, and, in short, define in a humorous way what it means to love baseball and to compete for its rewards. Bill Adler (not to be confused with his son, Bill Adler, Jr., who is also a prolific author) has published books on a variety of subjects, he is best known for his works reflecting the wit and humor of famous people. In most cases, Adler compiles a book by selecting and editing quotations and anecdotes of noteworthy individuals. Many critics feel that he shows his readers the human side of a celebrity or politician, a side many people seldom have the opportunity to see. He usually accomplishes this goal through the use of humor. Bill Adler is the editor of four New York Times bestselling books, including The Kennedy Wit, and is also the president of Bill Adler Books, Inc., a New York literary agency whose clients have included Mike Wallace, Dan Rather, George W. Bush, Bob Dole, Larry King, and Nancy Reagan. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Seller Inventory # 83748
