Once Around the Bases
Once Around the Bases: Bittersweet Memories of Only One Game in the Majors
by Richard Tellis
with a foreword by Jerome Holtzman
Triumph Books, Chicago, 1998
ISBN 1-57243-277-2
Once Around the Bases tells the stories of forty men who have one thing in common: a major league baseball career that consisted of exactly one game. Chapters -- one devoted to each player -- are arranged chronologically by game, from Ed Wineapple's four-inning stint on the mound for the Washington Senators in 1929, to Bobby Davidson's one inning as a pitcher for the New York Yankees sixty years later.
