Paul Dickson
Hailed as â€œa staggering piece of scholarshipâ€ (,Wall Street Journal,) and â€œan indispensable guide to the language of baseballâ€ (,San Diego Union-Tribune,), ,The Dickson Baseball Dictionary, has become an invaluable resource for those who love the game. Drawing on dozens of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century periodicals, as well as contemporary sources, Dicksonâ€™s brilliant, illuminating definitions trace the earliest appearances of terms both well known and obscure. This edition includes more than 10,000 terms with 18,000 individual entries, and more than 250 photos. This â€œimpressively comprehensiveâ€ (,The Nation,) book will delight everyone from the youngest fan to the hard-core aficionado.
