Baseball Legends, Myths, and Stories,\" K.P. Wee looks at more than 30 obscure and forgotten tales told by ballplayers, coaches, and broadcasters throughout baseball history - and repeated by historians and bloggers - while mixing in a knuckleballing theme. For each tale, Wee asks, \"Did this really happen?\" or \"Did they blame the right person?\" Among the tales: * Did Joe Niekro really strike out the first five batters of a game in the very first inning? * Did Phil Niekro really make Floyd Robinson silly on a strikeout? * Did \"Sunday Teddy\" Lyons really pitch only on Sundays? * How did Tom Candiotti \"botch\" the Jeff Kent fantasy baseball story? * Did Pedro Martinez actually forget the details of his first big-league start and blame the wrong guy? * Did you know that Ted Williams had to face a knuckleballer on the next-to-last day of his historic 1941 season? * Was Mark Grace really on deck when Glenallen Hill hit his mammoth home run at Wrigley?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e K.
