Synopsis

Tales from the locker room never before shared

For 35 years "Big Jim" Ksicinski served as headwaiter, valet, and confidant for major-league baseball players. During his tenure as the visiting clubhouse manager at Milwaukee's County Stadium, he encountered hundreds of players from both leagues.

This one-of-a-kind book celebrates the American pastime with its intriguing stories from behind the clubhouse doors. Poignant and inspiring, raunchy and hilarious, Jocks and Socks is baseball as it has never been seen--or heard--before.
