About The New Dickson Baseball Dictionary
Product Description From Abner Doubleday to Zurdo, from its thorough bibliography to its innovative thesaurus, this indispensable baseball resource is “that rarest of sports books, a valuable reference work that provides absorbing and enlightening reading” (Sports Illustrated).

More than a source for settling trivia disputes, the 592-page tome has illustrations of seldom-seen memorabilia (a button from the N.Y. Black Yankees), photos from private collections, and stories behind the slang long bandied about in dugouts (Did you know the term 'boys of summer' comes from a Dylan Thomas poem?)." -- Life About the Author Paul Dickson (born in Yonkers, NY) is a freelance writer of more than 45 non-fiction books, mostly on (American) English language and popular culture.
