"Baseball's troubadour poet laureate...creates a new chapter in the folklore of our national pastime."
Asheville Citizen-Times (June, 2002)
"Brodsky hits these tracks out of the park...These are tales of baseball’s quirky, dedicated and sometimes unloved participants."
Album Description
Nine highly acclaimed original baseball story-songs. Among the characters covered on this cd are Eddie Klepp (first white man to play in the Negro Leagues), Moe Berg (a catcher who also was a US spy just before WWII), Max Patkin (Clown Prince of Baseball), Dock Ellis (who pitched a no hitter under the influence of LSD), Richie Allen (booed by racist Philadelphia fans, he’d write "b-o-o" in the dirt in response), Fred Bonehead Merkle (whose baserunning error cost the NY Giants the pennant in 1908), and Eddie Waitkus (shot by a female stalker, his story was the basis for the movie "The Natural").
