Baseball, Boys, and Bad Words reveals the hilarity and magic of Little League baseball.Often called “the funniest tale ever told,” this story will have you laughing until you cry, while warming your soul, reminding you of childhood and a simpler time.In 1970, eleven-year-old Andy Andrews and a group of friends began a Little League season they would never forget. All the usual ingredients were there―well-worn gloves, freshly cut grass, and new uniforms. But the addition of a coach who was “new to the area” is what made this season truly unforgettable for young Andy.Baseball fans and both current and former Little Leaguers will love the funny story, the age-old baseball wisdom quoted from some of the game’s greatest players, and the vintage baseball photography.

Read it three days ago...I'm still laughing.When you read this all the images of a lazy fun filled summer of lost boys and corner lot baseball come to mind.I've heard you should never listen to this on auto and drive...and now I know why.
The quotes kept me moving in the beginning of the book, but I soon got to a point where I couldn't see the pages because I was laughing so hard. What a delightful book!! I have an eleven year old grandson who plays baseball. I knew I had to get a copy of this book for him and his dad. I wish I could be with them when they read it the first time.
Andrews transports the reader to a time when summer baseball was simple, fun, and everyone carried away fond memories. The telling of his own time as a ball player is filled with nostalgia, humor, and good old fashion kid stuff we all can relate to. I enjoyed the short visit to his summer field of dreams and enjoyed reliving some of my own time through his writing. It is a quick, easy read, sure to bring a smile and probably even some laugh-out-loud moments.
A friend sent this book to me and I read it. Then I read it to another friend. Then I sent it to my parents. Then I ordered one for yet another friend. And another.This is one of the richest, funniest books I have read. Thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
My family took a copy of this book on a road trip last summer and read it on a rainy day in the hotel room. We all laughed so hard. My wife and I had to pass the book back and forth because we were laughing too hard to continue reading. We all enjoyed the book!
I have reminisced recently about the last time I laughed so hard my belly hurt, and I couldn't remember when.....until I read this short story by Andy Andrews. I plan on sharing with my eleven year old grandson. Thank you Andy!
You will wish you had ordered a dozen if you only order one and read it! So many wonderful pages in this book! I'm a baseball nut and this is truly one of the best baseball books I've seen! There's one story in particular that will have you laughing for hours! It is short - I read it to my husband while we waited for our meal in a restaurant - but so powerful!
As a wife and mother of fans of baseball, this book really "hit" home. I love baseball and baseball stories. My husband played locally and our sons played Little League. One of my favorite pasttimes is attending baseball games. If I can't go, I at least can read about baseball. This was just a great, little book.
