Baseball When the Grass Was Real: Baseball from the Twenties to the Forties, Told by the Men Who Played It by Donald Honig

robm983's review

4.0

Ernest Hemingway invites half the 1942 Brooklyn Dodger ball team to his Havana home during spring training. Guns are fired and lots of alcohol drunk. Hemingway takes a shining to enigmatic pitcher Hugh Casey, and requests a sparring session that quickly turns into a violent, no-rules wrestling match, and ending with 'the old man' demanding a duel to the death.

Albert Pujols's dollars could never pay for such an experience.
