Seasons in Hell: With Billy Martin, Whitey Herzog and the Worst Baseball Team in History--The 1973-1975 Texas Rangers"Even before the start of spring training, Herzog had said, 'If Rich Billings is the starting catcher again, we're in deep trouble.' When that evaluation was passed along to Billings, he simply nodded and said, 'Whitey, obviously, has seen me play.'" In early 1973, gonzo sportswriter Mike Shropshire agreed to cover the Texas Rangers for the Fort Worth Star Telegram, not realizing that the Rangers were arguably the worst team in baseball history.

"Even before the start of spring training, Herzog had said, 'If Rich Billings is the starting catcher again, we're in deep trouble.' When that evaluation was passed along to Billings, he simply nodded and said, 'Whitey, obviously, has seen me play.'" In early 1973, gonzo sportswriter Mike Shropshire agreed to cover the Texas Rangers for the Fort-Worth Star-Telegram, not realizing that the Rangers were arguably the worst team in baseball history. Seasons in Hell is a riotous, candid, irreverent behind-the-scenes account in the tradition of The Bronx Zoo and Ball Four, following the Texas Rangers from Whitey Herzog's reign in 1973 through Billy Martin's tumultuous tenure. Offering wonderful perspectives on dozens of unique (and likely never-to-be-seen-again) baseball personalities, Seasons in Hell recounts some of the most extreme characters ever to play the game and brings to life the no-holds-barred culture of major league baseball in the mid-seventies

A great top & very sturdy!
Style: Fish
Beau was a little shy with the fish at first but now he loves it! I have had a “million laughs”. This is my second fish - present for my “grand dog” at X-mas. They are very study and holds up very well. Really a nice toy!

So cute, my dog loves it
Style: Lobster
My dog (15 lb Morkie) loves this toy. It was his gift for Christmas. My little guy is like a child, he gets so excited when he gets new toys. I can’t speak much on durability because my dog isn’t known to destroy toys. But in our case, it’s still in great condition. I love the charging feature. We had a previous toy that required batteries and it was a pain. I keep the charging cord tucked inside the toy pocket so it doesn’t get lost. It’s also motion activated, so if someone walks by it, it will began wiggling. Although I’m starting to wonder if my house is haunted because the toy will turn on by itself.

Amazingly Tough!
Style: Whale
This is one of our pup’s favorite toys, so much so that we always have a couple around. So far, our very-active, very destructive, deaf mixed-breed puppy has only managed to destroy one. And it was the plushie that failed, not the mechanism. Only reason I subtracted a star is that I’ve gotten a couple where the sensitivity is set WAY too high, as in, maybe it’s cosmic rays, setting it off? But other than that, great toy for a dog with high prey-drive.
