This book is a non-fiction narrative of men falsely claiming to be former Major League Baseball players. The author suggests that these baseball imposters are suffering from Eddie Scissons Syndrome, a moniker created by author W.P. Kinsella in his book, Shoeless Joe, upon which the movie Field of Dreams is based. While the syndrome derives its name from a fictional character, its reality is disturbingly widespread. Drawing upon real-life examples, Sheinkopf recounts these true stories, altering names to protect the guilty, (at the recommendation of legal counsel), with a blend of humor, contempt, and sometimes compassion for the families who all too often uncover the truth only when verifying facts for obituaries or personal histories. Most people are unaware how widespread this phenomenon is. These stories will surprise, amuse, and enlighten readers, revealing that the deception often echoes their own experiences with familiar tales told to them by their colleagues, teachers, neighbors, or even family members—stories that, upon closer inspection, may arouse suspicion. BASEBALL IMPOSTERS is both entertaining and eye-opening, offering a compelling look at a peculiar and persistent phenomenon in the world of baseball and beyond.
