The Baseball Encyclopedia was such a fun book in which to randomly get lost in the pre-internet days!
Spent hours upon hours leafing through my copy of
Total Baseball that I got for Christmas around '95ish.
A difference between the novel
Shoeless Joe Jackson Comes to Iowa and the film
Field of Dreams is that the games played in Iowa are the actual games that would have occurred if the 1919 sandal did not lead banning from the Game of Shoeless Joe and the rest of the Black Sox and J,D. Salinger (the author kidnapped in novel rather than Terence Mann) could see in his copy of
The Baseball Encyclopedia subtle changes after each game played on Ray Kinsella's "lawn."
