In Once Upon a Game, Alan Schwarz, author of the critically
acclaimed The Numbers Game, assembles a delightful
collection of personal memories about baseball from some of
the game’s all-time legends and its most famous fans. Derek
Jeter tells how at age ten he declared to his parents that
he would be a major leaguer; Ernie Banks recalls the moment
he coined the phrase “Let’s play two!”; Mike Piazza recounts
his backyard batting lesson with Ted Williams. With intimacy
and insight, dozens of the game’s greatest players remember
the finest moments of their careers. Lavishly illustrated
and handsomely designed, Once Upon a Game is a one-of-a-kind
collective reminiscence. Includes personal reflections from
Yogi Berra, Kevin Costner, Reggie Jackson, Pedro Martinez,
Cal Ripken Jr., Nolan Ryan, Charles Schulz, and more.
