Behind the Mask: My Double Life in Baseball
(1991) with Alan Steinberg
Dave Pallone was an umpire with two strikes against him. He worked ringed
by fellow umpires aching to get even with him for landing his job when
they were on strike. And he was gay in a sports world where you were
supposed to be straight or get straight out.
In this revealing look at baseball, Pallone traces his
life both personal and public, and offers a behind-the-scenes account of
the players, owners, managers, and umpires...and of outlandish incidents
on and off the field. Funny, poignant, shockingly honest, this explosive
story is bound to raise a storm of controversy, as it opens eyes about how
the game is really played...and about the deeply ingrained homophobia in
professional baseball.
