Angel Shortstop Jim Anderson poured champagne over the presidential head, and Second Baseman Bobby Grich completed the double play by adding a beer chaser. The team's best-known fan, Richard M. Nixon, was delighted by the ritual horseplay of the Angel's locker-room victory party. "Anybody want some more good California champagne?" asked Nixon, wiping his pate.

However offensive the behavior of the modern mercenaries...

Even in dubious collaboration with Schaap--a sportswriter whose previous literary accomplishments, if that is the work for them, include a bunch of as-told-to locker-room memoirs--Breslin manages to sneak through some of the ironic wit and compassion that for years have made him the hero of the straphangers who read his daily column in the New York Daily News...
