Haunted Baseball Ghosts, Curses, Legends and Eerie Events By Mickey Bradley and Dan Gordon
Baseball and ghost stories are American obsessions. Haunted Baseball combines both with this fun and freaky collection of otherworldly yarns.
The authors interviewed more than 800 players, managers and coaches – as well as numerous stadium personnel and fans – to uncover these supernatural tales. With a wealth of anecdotes that have never before been told, Haunted Baseball gives readers an entertaining and eerie look at our national pastime.
Dan Gordon, co-author of Cape Encounters: Contemporary Cape Cod Ghost Stories, will discuss his latest book, answer questions, and sign copies Monday October 22 6:30-8:30PM at the Swansea Public Library.
