Book Reviews of Haunted Baseball: Ghosts, Curses, Legends, and Eerie Events
Book Review: Fun and unusual baseball stories
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the main reasons that baseball is America's premier sports is that there is such a strong sense of spiritual bond between its fans and the sport. It would only seem natural that there be actual spiritual stories to go with this great American game. No other sport seems full of so many curses and jinxes which is part of the great history of the game. The story is also amusing because it makes fair use of the tremendous superstitious nature of baseball players giving examples of players seeing birds which are supposed to represent deceased friends and loved ones to the example of the great Luis Tiant wearing all white to avoid witch doctor curses.
The book also offers great stories of players experiences in haunted hotels which are great fun to read. Since most teams stay in top of the line hotels which are of course the 4 or 5 star 100 year old variety they are bound to have some ghost stories to tell. Needless to say these stories are very amusing and very entertaining. They offer a unique aspect of our national national pastime and is a very entertaining read!
