DEREK ZUMSTEG
Saturday, April 28 at 3 p.m.

A special pre-game reading/discussion. A few hours before the Mariners host Kansas City a few blocks south of the bookstore at Safeco Field, we are pleased to present Derek Zumsteg of the popular Mariner website www.ussmariner.com. He is here as the author of a new book on the dirty tricks, scandals, and schemers of America's favorite pastime, The Cheater's Guide to Baseball (Houghton Mifflin). Ever wonder why spit (or other such substances) makes a difference? Don't miss this. "It's all right here, from Vaseline to superballs to licorice, from Arnold Rothstein to Gaylord Perry to Sammy Sosa—a book sure to find its place in the pantheon of underground manuals." - Jeremy Schaap. For more about Derek Zumsteg, also a co-author of five editions of the Baseball Prospectus, please see www.zumsteg.net or www.ussmariner.com.
