The Redheaded Outfield and Other Baseball Stories

About the book

It is a pleasure to present this collection of baseball stories — both exciting and hilarious, and with plenty of quirky characters — by Zane Grey, the master of the Western fiction genre. Much of the baseball language in these stories may sound unfamiliar to us. For example, Grey uses the word “swing” in reference to the pitcher’s windup, not the motion of the bat. I hope fans will enjoy discovering many other “new” baseball terms from 100 years ago. Five of the stories (sections 2 - 6) are closely related. They are all about the same fictional minor league team, they share a cast of characters, and they are all narrated by the team’s manager.
