About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."

Description
Whose initials are displayed in Morse code on the hand-operated scoreboard at Boston's Fenway Park? Which baseball personality inspired the name of Gillian Anderson's character in The X-Files? The weird, the wonderful, the well-known, and the who-ever-knew-thats: from fun facts out of baseball movies to real-life oddities from the diamond, these multiple-choice trivia questions will truly test your smarts on the sport. Think about it for a second: Which fielding position was not mentioned by Abbott and Costello in their classic "Who's on First?" routine? Pitcher? Right Field? Shortstop? And, in what country does former Milwaukee Brewers catcher Dave Nilsson own a minor baseball league? Hint: It's his native land. Have fun!
Answers:
1. Former Red Sox owners Tom A. Yawkey and Jean R Yawkey
2. Vin Scully, the play-by-play voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers
3. Right field
