They may be famous, but they’re no less human - the quirks, the drama, and the not so obvious side of baseball.

Even in a sport as legendary as baseball, players are no exception to the roller-coaster ride of life.

Every single person has their own tale of failure, courage, and success, no matter how big or small - it’s when you put them together that you unearth the ultimate underdog story.

In A Game of Extremes, you will discover 25 stories of the most exceptional baseball players to this day, revealing a more transparent look at the lives of these famous athletes:

• 10 tons of guacamole and a samurai sword, please: the player who was more known for his quirks than his skill - but no less talented than the rest
• The beloved pitcher who was the inspiration behind both a movie character and an April Fools' joke that duped the nation
• The trickster who “stole” first base, forever leaving his mark with the new official rule that followed
• One player’s six wise rules for staying young and achieving lifelong success - all compiled through experience
• Baseball on LSD: how one pitcher navigated an entire game high, and even threw a no-hitter
• The player with all odds against him - think a birthday of Friday the 13th and a death date of April Fools' Day - and how he rose to hold a place in the National Baseball Hall of Fame
• And much more

Don’t let the game fool you - there’s more to baseball than meets the eye.
