Slouching Toward Fargo: A Two-Year Saga of Sinners and St. Paul Saints at the Bottom of the Bush Leagues with Bill Murray, Darryl Strawberry,In his classic account of two years with the most audacious bush league ballclub ever to plumb the bottom of the pro sports barrel, Neal Karlen presents a dizzying collection of characters: co owners comedian Bill Murray and sports impresario Mike Veeck; baseball's formerly winningest pitcher Jack Morris; outfielder Darryl Strawberry, on his way back to the majors; the back rubbing Sister Rosalind; baseball's first woman player Ila Borders; frantic

In his classic account of two years with the most audacious bush league ballclub ever to plumb the bottom of the pro sports barrel, Neal Karlen presents a dizzying collection of characters: co-owners comedian Bill Murray and sports impresario Mike Veeck; baseball's formerly winningest pitcher Jack Morris; outfielder Darryl Strawberry, on his way back to the majors; the back-rubbing Sister Rosalind; baseball's first woman player Ila Borders; frantic fans, a ball-carrying pig, a blind sportscaster, and a host of others. They all prove the credo of the Saints: Fun is Good. "Hilarious, insightful, touching, informative, Neal Karlen's baseball account delivers a world of vivid characters and ironic redemptions. Karlen is simply one of the best, most sophisticated, and literate practitioners of journalism we have. He goes out and gets the full story, while turning himself into a wonderfully self-mocking, truthful, and likable narrator. I loved every page of this book." --Phillip Lopate, author, essayist, and film critic "Two things make it great: characters and story line. The tale is rendered in hilarious fashion, mixing plenty of baseball with plenty of laughs." --Rocky Mountain News "A fun-is-good book . . . with] enough oddballs to make Alice's Adventures in Wonderland seem like a straightforward account of a schoolgirl's visit to a theme park." --Sports Illustrated this isn't from a review, must be from a column] "The funkiest team in baseball." --The New York Times
Neal Karlen, who has written for the New York Times, Newsweek, and Rolling Stone, is the author or co-author of seven books, including Augie's Secrets from the Minnesota Historical Society Press.

Very durable
Color: Blue
My dog chews through most toys within minutes. This has lasted a week so far and he loves it, carries it around and squeaks it. It’s extremely durable!

Pineapple sunshine
Size: 7" XL-Large
Reviewing this after nearly 4 years. I got this for my dog (sadly has passed away), and this was one of her favorite toys. It didn't squeak but the shape and size was what she loved. Big enough she could chomp on in it and I didn't need to worry about her choking. Small enough she could carry it in her mouth when she wanted to play. This is a durable rubber/rubber-like material, I'd compare it to Kong toys, excellent for a dog who loves to chew and needs a toy that can endure their bite.

The only toy my dog has not destroyed.
Size: 7" XL-Large
This is the only toy my dog has not destroyed. He absolutely loves his pineapple, and has figured out a trick to get the treats out. He has destroyed kong toys left and right, the only damage he has done is he chewed the top off. We just soak and wash it, and refill it. It keeps him occupied and is a great treat.

Our Pup Loves It
Size: 7" XL-Large
Our fur baby usually prefers toys that squeak, but she LOVES her pineapple 🍍 toy! It’s the perfect size, its hardness is strong enough for her to chew but soft enough to flex in her jaws , and doesn’t have a bad odor. For the money, it has been a great value with how it can handle her strong chewing and not break apart.
