Some Are Called Clowns: A season with the last of the great barnstorming baseball teams

Some are called clown tells the sometime outrageously funny, sometimes tragic story of a unique American phenomenon, the barnstorming baseball team. Every player is reminded nightly that he is "trying to follow in the footsteps of the great Hank Aaron who started his career with the Indianapolis Clowns," whether PA blares the introductions. To the other clowns, the contortionists, the midgets, the one armed first baseman, and acrobats; it's a performance and, no matter what the size of the gate, the show must go on.
