Synopsis
The tragicomic story of the 1899 Cleveland Spiders, baseball's futility leaders and winners of only 20 out of 154 games that season. Meet some of the most colorful men ever to wear a major league uniform. Follow their unfortunate train-travel odyssey through the National League and straight into obscurity. Marvel at the real desperation of a team forced to turn a cigar store clerk into a starting pitcher. Anecdotes galore. Reviewed in the 1999 Cleveland Indians Yearbook. Illustrations, appendices, sordid statistics, bibliography, and index., Doomed to failure, the brave ballplayers of the ragtag 1899 Cleveland Spiders took the field. What followed were some of the strangest exploits ever seen on a baseball diamond. Laugh at their ridiculous exploits! Imagine a team that played virtually no home games! Join them on their bumpy railroad ride to mediocrity. Savor a ball club of Charlie Browns who played so poorly that one Cleveland sportswriter penned a sardonic apology explaining the virtues of defeat. These colorful ballplayers; men like Crazy Schmit, Tommy Tucker, Ossie Schreckengost, and Louis Sockalexis, can't be found anywhere near Cooperstown. Discover the riches of 19th Century baseball when balls were grass-stained, beat-up, and used all day. When tickets cost 50 cents. When playing fields were only parks and not stadiums. When owners could own multiple teams. When protesting an umpire's call meant an automatic five-dollar fine. When rowdyism and chaos ruled. Cleveland's Plain Dealer called the book "exhaustively detailed." The Cooperstown Review wrote, "Hetrick deserves a standing ovation for this meticulous research." MISFITS! Baseball's Worst Ever Team contains new illustrations, tons of hysterical anecdotes, period sports writing, sordid statistics, references, bibliography, and index.
