To err is human. To really screw up requires team effort. Everyone
cheers the clubs that win pennants, but what about the doormats who
made their triumphs possible? It's time to give baseball's lousiest
teams their due. Here they are: The 1904 Washington Senators, whose
only good player, a thirty-five-year-old star hitter, took a dive
(fatally, into Niagara Falls); the 1935 Boston Braves, who set the
National League standard for losing percentage despite featuring
three Hall of Famers--including Yankee exile Babe Ruth; the 1952
Pittsburgh Pirates, Joe Garagiola's cellar-dwelling team that was
so bad, he quipped, "they wouldn't put our pictures on bubble gum
cards"; and the 1962 New York Mets, maybe not the worst team ever
but definitely the funniest in modern baseball history. You'll get
the stats, the scores, the scandals, and the secrets in this
no-holds-barred account. When the survivors of these diamond
trainwrecks include such legends as Marv Throneberry, Ralph Kiner,
Cal Ripken Jr., Roger Craig, and Joe Garagiola, you can be sure
that the book (unlike its subjects) is a winner.
