Book Synopsis Baseball and the Blame Game by : John Billheimer

Download or read book Baseball and the Blame Game written by John Billheimer and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2007-07-02 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most baseball fans know what links Fred Merkle, Fred Snodgrass, Mickey Owen and Bill Buckner. It's a pantheon of public failure. They would be harder put to say what links Eric Byrnes, Tony Fernandez, and Babe Ruth, though these players made misplays every bit as egregious. In this smart, highly readable history of scapegoating, John Billheimer identifies the elements that combine to condemn one player to a life sentence while another gets a wrist slap for the same offense. As it turns out, the difference between a lower-case e in some forgotten box score and a lifetime of ignominy can hinge on a number of factors, including timing, geography, reputation, misunderstanding, media bias, and just plain bad luck.
