DAN EPSTEIN

07/10/2010 2:00 pm

Former Rolling Stone reporter Dan Epstein's Big Hair & Plastic Grass: A Funky Ride through Baseball & America in the '70s (St. Martin's Press) tells some of the wild tales from baseball's most turbulent area. "Epstein fires up the time machine for a journey back to 1970s baseball, out of which came the designated hitter, the free agent, Astroturf, cookie-cutter stadiums, World Series night games, and such ill-fated experiments as the three-ball walk (oof!), orange baseballs (look out!), and the swapping of wives ... Still, in the midst of such a kooky decade thrived many of the game's immortal talents, including Steve Carlton, Tom Seaver, Nolan Ryan, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, Mike Schmidt, and many more." - Booklist.
