With an introduction by Bob Costas of NBC Sports, Out of Left Field is the perfect book for the baseball fan who has read it all.  Jeffrey and Douglas Lyons's three years of research have dug out a diamond mine of fascinating, never-before-seen gems, such as:

The only big-leaguer directed by Alfred Hitchcock

With a question and answer format, Out of Left Field is the one book that diehard baseball fans will savor from cover to cover.
