Description:

For Every Babe Ruth, There's a Dick Nen ...

Everyone knows the great ones: DiMaggio ... Namath ... Jordon ... Orr ... But what about the other guys, the sports unknowns who spent entire careers in anonymity, until that single remarkable moment when they found themselves in the spotlight with a golden opportunity to triumph ... or flop spectacularly?

In this fascinating, informative, and endlessly entertaining compendium of brief athletic accomplishments, the little guy finally gets his due! From the amazing and inspiring to the downright absurd, here is a treasure trove of little-known lore that every sports fan will cherish; a grand celebration of the unsung heroes of athletic competition -- like the incomparable Dick Nen, who, with only eight at-bats all season, blasted a towering home run that catapulted the lowly Dodgers over the mighty Cardinals, propelling his team into the World Series .. yet did not have another plate appearance for two more years!
