In 1977, former Salisbury University Student Brian Spiering collected folk material. This collection focuses baseball lore from the Salisbury State team, precisely some accounts of superstitions on baseball rituals and traditional baseball insults. A baseball player himself, Brian Spiering interviewed his team members to gather the material. Each interview is comprised of a short background information on the informant and the collector's comment.
