Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. INSCRIBED Hardcover- burgundy cloth w/ bold intact gilt- in NEAR FINE Condition in VERY GOOD unclipped Dustjacket showing some edgewear. INSCRIBED on title page: "To Bruno, - Happy Fathers Day.- Go Giants!- Hank Greenwald- 6/20/99." Other than author's inscription, INTERIOR PRISTINE: clean, tight, bright, an unread copy. Stated Second Printing, May, 1999. ILLUSTRATED w/ 16 glossy pages of b & w photographs. This book included critical comments about San Francisco Giants executive Larry Baer & the unpleasant behavior of Barry Bonds. After ordering some 500 books to be sold at their Dugout Stores in the Bay Area, the Giants returned them to the publisher, to which Greenwald responded, "Did they have a book-burning?" The relationship thawed over the years but Greenwald never expressed regret over anything he'd written. Hank Greenwald (1935-2018), called "the gentleman humorist," was the beloved longtime voice of the SF Giants and was known for his wit and wisdom. Quite rare in a signed copy. Carefully shipped. Inscribed by Author(s).
