Killer baseball players ... playing a game to survive, The Death Row All Stars chronicles the amazing true story of the men on Wyoming's death row in 1911 who believed they'd be granted reprieves as long as they kept winning baseball games. This is a wild tale from the Old West about convicted murderers, burglars, rapists transformed into gentlemen playing the national pastime. It's heartbreaking that a few of the players (Joseph Seng in particular) mentioned were denied a pardon from the gallows.

For fans for baseball and true crime. ( )
