Bury My Heart at Cooperstown

For casual and hardcore baseball fans as well as readers of offbeat facts and trivia, an entertaining and colorful look at the untimely, unusual, and sometimes touching final at-bats of hundreds of baseball players includes stories about players such as James Phelps, who made a running catch in the outfield during a 1909 Louisiana game, was bitten by a poisonous snake, finished the game, and then died.
