Résumé
Three-Finger Brown. Satchel Paige. Cool Papa Bell. Catfish Hunter. Oil Can Boyd. The Big Train. Charlie Hustle. Baseball has always spoken a language all its own. In this engaging exploration of the game's unforgettable nicknames, retired English professor and lifelong baseball fan Gabby Hyman uncovers the stories behind baseball's most colorful monikers. Some were born in clubhouses. Others were invented by sportswriters, teammates, or promoters.
A few became more famous than the players themselves. Part baseball history, part cultural history, and part celebration of language, Three-Finger Brown shows how these remarkable names reveal personality, humor, folklore, and the changing character of America. Filled with memorable stories, surprising research, and more than two hundred unforgettable names, this is a book for baseball fans, language lovers, and anyone who enjoys the rich traditions of America's pastime.
