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.
