520    "In 2007, the Mitchell Report shocked traditionalists who 
       were appalled that drugs had corrupted the "pure" game of 
       baseball. Nathan Corzine rescues the story of baseball's 
       relationship with drugs from the sepia-toned tyranny of 
       such myths. In Team Chemistry, he reveals a game splashed 
       with spilled whiskey and tobacco stains from the day the 
       first pitch was thrown. Indeed, throughout the game's 
       history, stars and scrubs alike partook of a pharmacopeia 
       that helped them stay on the field and cope off of it: In 
       1889, Pud Galvin tried a testosterone-derived "elixir" to 
       help him pile up some of his 646 complete games. Sandy 
       Koufax needed Codeine and an anti-inflammatory used on 
       horses to pitch through his late-career elbow woes. 
       Players returning from World War II mainstreamed the use 
       of the amphetamines they had used as servicemen. Vida Blue
       invited teammates to cocaine parties, Tim Raines used it 
       to stay awake on the bench, and Will McEnaney snorted it 
       between innings. Corzine also ventures outside the lines 
       to show how authorities handled--or failed to handle--drug
       and alcohol problems, and how those problems both shaped 
       and scarred the game. The result is an eye-opening look at
       what baseball's relationship with substances legal and 
       otherwise tells us about culture, society, and masculinity
       in America." --|cPublisher's description.
