Ripley's goes jock

The Believe It or Not! people (heroes in the minds of some, the biggest liars in the world to others) have created a book of baseball trivia. But it's only available to hard-working sports journalists such as the Orlando Sentinel's Jerry Greene, not the general public.

Best tidbit:

In 1902, Stanton Walker was sitting between two friends at a game. One friend was passing an open pocketknife to the friend on the other side of Stan -- when a foul ball struck the knife, drove it into Stan's heart and killed him.

Believe it ... or not!
