Numerous books have been written about baseball's champion batsmen. But, what about ballplayers who repeatedly produced little more than pathetic squibbers to third base, infield pop ups, and ego bruising strikeouts? What could possibly be their value to a baseball club? Plenty. Using eye-opening statistics, interviews with players, and illustrations, author Al Pepper produces remarkable biographies of fifty of major league baseball's worst hitters. Men like Brian Doyle, Choo Choo Coleman, Bob Uecker, Tony La Russa, Ted Beard, Charlie Manual, and 44 others finally receive their due. The origins of the famous Mendoza Line and a biography of its namesake Mario Mendoza is also included. In addition, the book serves as a rollicking tour through baseball history -- from the nineteenth century through today. Foreword by ex-big leaguer Mike Stenhouse.
