Wits, Flakes, and Clowns: The Colorful Characters of Baseball covers so many of the funniest, wittiest, and flakiest players from long ago to the present that it is bound to entertain every baseball fan. Lots of laughs are in store as you read about the men who enriched the game—from those who gave us clever quotes to the pranksters and the so-called clowns of the game, Wayne Stewart's book delivers.
— Vernon Law, 1960 Cy Young Award winner
Detailing legendary jokesters and pranksters of the past 70 years, [Stewart] lists 135 players and managers who craved the limelight while goofing off on the field and in the clubhouse . . . Stewart wildly entertains in this offbeat history.
