Synopsis:

An account of life as an umpire by one of major league baseball's most notorious figures shares his adventures on and off the field, from his career in the minor leagues to his experiences with such players as Mark McGwire and Nolan Ryan.

About the Authors: Ken Kaiser is a former bar bouncer and pro wrestler. In the ring he wore a black hood, carried an ax, and was billed as “The Hatchet Man.” He was voted the most colorful umpire in the American League in a 1986 Sporting News poll. He left Major League Baseball in 2001. He lives in Rochester, New York.

David Fisher is the author of more than a dozen bestsellers, among them collaborations with George Burns, Ron Luciano, Tommy Lasorda, and Terry Bradshaw
