As a screwball of the first order, he had more: more zaniness, more mischief, more wild escapades than any ball player before or since."

"Rich with detail, warm with anecdote, this book traces Waddell's life from his early childhood through his success in the majors, to his fade into obscurity and early death."--Jacket.
