An weirdly, interesting book about people who have died while playing/watching baseball. From simply playing catch in the backyard to a major league game players and fans have died. It seems that most people experience trauma to the head or chest, which results in their untimely death. It is broken down into players, field personnel and fans. A little blurb about each event paints a picture of what happened to each victim. ( )
