Steve "Psycho" Lyons has done it all. As a player he played for two of the most storied franchises in Major League Baseball history--the Red Sox and the White Sox--and as a baseball analyst, he's a national Emmy Award winner, proving that he's as comfortable playing tic-tac-toe in the dirt with Wally Joyner as he is calling national games for Major League Baseball from the broadcast booth. Lyons is probably best known for a moment in Detroit that has since become legendary--pulling his pants down at first base to shake off the dirt Digging in and dusting off the annals of baseball history, he has researched the craziest moments in baseball ever, ranging from the hilarious to the ridiculous, from the incredible to the heroic. The Psycho 100 invites readers to argue his rankings, and to debate the issues. Remember the time Bobby Valentine got ejected from a game and later returned to the dugout in a Groucho Marx disguise? Let's not forget when Manny Ramirez climbed the wall, caught the ball, gave a fan a high five, and still turned the double play And then there was the time A-Rod shouted rounding third base in Toronto and caused the third baseman to drop the ball Diving headfirst into the wacky and heroic adventures of baseball history, this book captures it all for the true baseball fan. First there were baseball cards and some glorious statistics on their backs. Then along came the Elias Sports Bureau and a wealth of statistics. Fantasy baseball rocked the baseball world in the 1990s and fans became armchair GMs. Now, for the first time, the untapped world of wacky, heroic, poignant, and unbelievable moments are all ranked on the "PsychoMeter" by Psycho himself, Steve "Psycho" Lyons.
