    About Who’s on Worst?

    Who were the best ballplayers of all time? It’s an endless question, but here’s something much more fun: Who was the worst of all time? Who was the lousiest pitcher? The biggest goat? The most despicable owner? The most over-paid bum?
    Finally, Filip Bondy answers these questions, wielding his own brand of formidable research, advanced sabermetrics and considerable wit to provide this indispensable guide to the less glorious side of our national pastime. Each chapter is filled with rich and colorful stories about the players unfortunate enough to be chosen in each category–like “Too Fat to Bat” or “Anyone Seen My Mitt.” So welcome to the Hall of Shame. It’s awesome.

    About Who’s on Worst?

    A hilarious celebration of the worst in baseball history: The boneheads, cheats, jerks and losers who make the grand old game so fun

    Libraries and Internet sites are filled to groaning with debates about who the best ballplayers of all time were—but how many times can you argue about Mantle vs. Mays? Since baseball is a game of failure, it’s much more fun to dive into the fray and explore baseball’s worst: who was the lousiest pitcher of all-time? the biggest goat? the most despicable owner? the greatest cheater?

    Filip Bondy wields formidable research, advanced sabermetrics and his considerable wit to provide this indispensable guide to the less glorious side of our national pastime. Each chapter is filled with rich and colorful stories of the players unfortunate enough to be chosen in each category and is followed by a handy top-ten list, such as Most Overpaid Yankees.

    From a delightful survey of batters who fell below the dreaded “Mendoza Line” to a rundown of managers who had long careers distinguished by relentless losing to a roster of players who took steroids but still stunk, Who’s on Worst? is a thoroughly entertaining portrait of the personalities who deserve their place in baseball history as much as the immortals.
