In spring of 1912, weeks after the Titanic sunk, Ty Cobb climbed into the stands of New York's Hilltop Park and nearly beat to death a crippled fan who called him the n-word. After American League President Ban Johnson suspended Cobb, his Detroit Tiger teammates went on strike to support him. Forced to field a team or else, Tiger manager Hughie "Ee-yah" Jennings went to the streets of Philadelphia to field a team. The one day ringers were dismissed as losers, but they were also the luckiest guys to ever be major leaguers. "The Paper Tigers" by Greg Klein tells the previously untold story of the one-day pro baseball players and the baseball legends that caused the tale to transpire.
