An informal autobiography of the old-time professional baseball pitcher and entertainer, Al Schacht. The Bronx-born Schacht pitched for a decade in the minors with the New York Giants, then the old Washington Senators in 1919, 1920 and 1921. One of the first Jewish players in the professional game, he appeared on the same staff as Walter Johnson, but was best known for his comic performances which gained him the title “The Clown Prince of Baseball”. Originally published in 1955, these memoirs feature tales of Babe Ruth, whom Schacht struck out, Lou Gehrig, Casey Stengel, Walter Johnson, Jim Thorpe, et al. and will appear to sportsfans the world over.
