From the Sept. 4, 2007 issue of the Worcester Telegram:
Baseball and ghost stories are part of the fabric of American culture. A new book
by Mickey Bradley and Dan Gordon, Haunted Baseball: Ghosts, Curses, Legends, Eerie Events (288 pp., The Lyons Press, $14.95), combines both, according to the publisher. It is a “fun and freaky collection of otherworldly yarns offered up by baseball players, stadium personnel, front office folks and fans.”
Such stars as Derek Jeter, Jason Varitek and Alex Rodriguez share their perspectives and experiences in a wealth of anecdotes that the authors say have never been told before. They write about the historic spring training ball park in St. Petersburg, Fla., where Babe Ruth and his teammates are said to still roam the field; the Ken Griffey home run that gave solace to a grieving 9-11 family; and Roberto Clemente’s premonitions of his death in a plane crash.
The authors have constructed a Web site for their project, which includes an impressive list of players interviewed as well as a preview chapter and list of upcoming appearances (the authors, not the ghosts).
