Bill Heward

Crowell, 1974

One of the best baseball books ever...BAR NONE!
I first read "Some Are Called Clowns" as a teenager when it came out in the 1970's, and I still have my original copy. It's a diary of Bill Heward's 1973 season pitching and managing the Indianapolis Clowns, the last surviving Negro League team from the 1930's and '40's. It's extremely engaging and well-written and you'll get a lot of baseball history along the way, but this book goes well ...
