â€œEven before the start of spring training, Herzog had said, â€˜If Rich Billings is the starting catcher again, weâ€™re in deep trouble.â€™ When that evaluation was passed along to Billings, he simply nodded and said, â€˜Whitey, obviously, has seen me play.â€™â€

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 Herzogâ€™s reign in 1973 through Billy Martinâ€™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
