description: Sourcebooks, Naperville, Illinois, 2007. Hardcover in Dust Jacket. Written by Frank Deford. First Edition (Number Line to 1). It is also signed and inscribed by the author on the title page. From my searches I found only one other Signed First Edition. I've priced my book at nearly half the price of that offering, for no particular reason other than the vast generosity of my heart. Sporting News describes Deford as "the most influential sports voice among members of the print media" and GQ simply calls him "the World's Greatest Sportswriter." Of this book Hall Of Fame Mike Schmidt states "The Entitled is a baseball masterpiece, like The Natural and Field of Dreams; the difference is the plot and the characters depict the true inside world of baseball.. Frank Deford writes like he played in the majors for ten years. If you have a passion for baseball, this is a must read."
