Three Men on Third: A Second Book of Baseball Anecdotes, Oddities, and Curiosities (1951) by H. Allen Smith and Ira L. Smith is a humorous collection of baseball stories, following the success of their earlier work, Low and Inside (1949). While the first book focused on pre-World War I material, this sequel expands its scope to cover a broader range of baseball history, including the 1930s and 1940s.

It features tales of bizarre plays, eccentric players, and strange superstitions that have colored the sport's rich history. The authors' witty writing style and keen eye for the game's oddities make this volume a delightful read for baseball enthusiasts and casual fans alike.
