The wild and hilarious adventures of baseball's magnificent misfits, the St. Paul Saints of the independent Northern League. Starring team co-owners Bill Murray and Mike Veeck, and a roster that includes Darryl Strawberry, Jack Morris, J. D. Drew, and Steve Howe--not to mention Wayne Terwilliger and the spirit of Bill Veeck--plus an off-the-wall cast of wannabes and has-beens. Told with humor and a great deal of affection by Rolling Stone writer Neal Karlen, Slouching Toward Fargo is an unforgettable tale of big-time characters playing small-town baseball who learn to love the game all over again. Winner of the prestigious Casey Award for best baseball book of 1999. Featuring a new foreword by Mike Veeck!
