* Would you believe…?

July 19, 2008

Hard to believe that Ripley’s would find enough material to put together a whole book on baseball, but they have.

Two comemnts on it from its page on Amazon.com:

“A baseball hit 400 feet has twice the destructive energy as a bullet fired from a .8 calibur pistol. That, and other strange and unusual facts can be found in “Ripley’s Believe It Or Not!: Baseball Oddities & Trivia: A Journey Through the Weird, Wacky, and Absolutely True World of Baseball”. Packed cover to cover with charming drawings by John Granziano, “Ripley’s Believe It or Not: Baseball Oddities & Trivia: A Journey Through the Weird, Wacky, and Absolutely True World of Baseball” is over a hundred pages of interesting and intriguing facts and notes of interest. Highly recommended for baseball fans or anyone who just likes weird, bizarre information – it also should be considered as a lighter edition to any community library collection focuses on sports or baseball.”

The second:

“I enjoy reading baseball trivia. However, found four errors in this book and e-mailed the publisher. The publisher responded and said these would be corrected in the next edition.”
