"Stupendous. . . . The best specialty dictionary I've seen in years." -- Grant Barrett, lexicographer, NPR "An invaluable American thesaurus." -- Mark Shields "Always attuned to lore and language, Dickson ventures far beyond dugout expressions that have already dug out a place in common American speech." -- Rob Kyff - Hartford Courant "[E]xtraordinary book...of value beyond the cost. If you or someone you love has an interest in [baseball, this] will be [a] welcome addition to any collection...so readable, so accessible, and such a pleasure to dip into, to research into, or to just sit down and read for the narrative flow." -- James Srodes - Washington Times "This magnificent volume will make the perfect gift for diehard fans." -- Vick Mickunas - The Dayton Daily News "Very cool." -- Rachel Maddow - The Rachel Maddow Show "A wonderful companion volume...enough to last a fan through a 162-game season and the playoffs....What a treasure to have at hand with a long season ahead. " -- David Broder - Washington Post "If you're a baseball fan and...you're curious about the etymology of the phrase out in the left field or you need a refresher on the infield fly rule. Well for 20 years, the authority, the baseball Bible, if you will, has been The Dickson Baseball Dictionary. " -- Melissa Block - All Things Considered "An indispensable guide to the language of baseball." -- John Curtis - San Diego Union-Tribune "Dickson's discursive dictionary...a delight for former sandlot players, lexical scholars and members of the hot-stove league. " -- William Safire - The New York Times Magazine
Hailed as "a staggering piece of scholarship" (Wall Street Journal) and "an indispensable guide to the language of baseball" (San Diego Union-Tribune), The Dickson Baseball Dictionary has become an invaluable resource for those who love the game. Drawing on dozens of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century periodicals, as well as contemporary sources, Dickson's brilliant, illuminating definitions trace the earliest appearances of terms both well known and obscure. This edition includes more than 10,000 terms with 18,000 individual entries, and more than 250 photos. This "impressively comprehensive" (The Nation) book will delight everyone from the youngest fan to the hard-core aficionado.
