This book includes 250 anecdotes about religion, including this one: Many baseball players are religious. Jimmy Piersall was noted for using his bat to scratch a cross in the dirt before hitting. New York Yankee catcher Yogi Berra, who was also very religious, noticed Mr. Piersall do this one game. As soon as Mr. Piersall had made the sign of the cross in the dirt with his bat, Mr. Berra used his glove to rub out the cross, then told him, 'Why don’t you let God just watch the game?'

    This book contain many anecdotes, most of them funny. (I hope.) A Sample: 1) In 1985, Judi Dench appeared in a BBC-TV production of Ghosts.
