The expanded and now-definitive work on the language of
baseball—"absorbing and enlightening reading" (Sports
Illustrated). Hailed as "a staggering piece of scholarship"
(Wall Street Journal), The Dickson Baseball Dictionary has
become an indispensable resource for those who love the
game. Drawing on dozens of nineteenth- and early twentieth-
century periodicals as well as contemporary sources,
illuminating definitions trace the earliest appearances of
terms both well known and obscure. More than twenty-five
years in the making, with the help of more than three
hundred baseball and lexical experts, this new edition is
expanded by more than thirty percent to over 10,000 terms
with 18,000 individual entries. It introduces words and
phrases from around the world of baseball, including those
introduced by Latin-American ballplayers, and statistical
expressions relating to fantasy baseball and the
SABR/Moneyball era. Packed with more than 250 photos—many
rare and previously unpublished—The Dickson Baseball
Dictionary will delight everyone from the youngest fan to
the hard-core aficionado.
