	Elysian Fields Quarterly - The Baseball Review
		Given that, why should we care to exhume the life and times of Hal Chase, whose mercurial career is remembered less for his often-brilliant fielding at first base than for the lingering stench of "laying down" that dogged his steps from league to league.
		Given what Chase ultimately did with that talent, we might expect that humor would be hard to come by, but the authors—whose deft one-liners are sprinkled far too lightly throughout the text—have a subtle sense of the sardonic.
		In fact, one of their main points is that Chase's marred reputation as soiled fixer has been exploited to cleanse the dirty deeds of many others in the game.
