“Eerily delightful.” – John Thorn, Official Historian for Major League BaseballA baseball fan from the start, Fred Worth has been to 11,059 graves. Why? The answer is part of the story. “Fred Worth is a mathematics professor with an odd hobby. As I write this prefatory note to his book, he has visited 11,059 baseball graves. As Major League Baseball’s official historian, I have remarked that I like my ballplayers dead, where they can be pinned to a page like butterflies so their remains may be studied. I hasten to add that I like living ballplayers, too, as does Fred. In fact, we both have loved the game ever since we were little.
He and I are longtime members of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR). We are brothers under the skin; for us, King Kelly is no less a presence than Mike Trout. Our boyhood heroes-like Willie, Mickey, and the Duke-are gone but not forgotten. They live in the baseball necropolis of the mind, and in Fred’s indefatigable road trips to graveyards large and small. His walks among the dead, detailed herein, are eerily delightful.”
From the Foreword by -John Thorn, Official Historian, Major League BaseballBaseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona. Not all holes, or games, are created equal. – George Will
