This review is from: The Baseball Chronology: The Complete History of the Most Important Events in the Game of Baseball (Hardcover)

The Baseball Chronology is a superb book!!! It has day-by-day highlights of all Major League baseball seasons back to 1876 - and then some!!! Unlike its main competitor, The Baseball Timeline, this book does not skimp when it comes to the 19th. century. In fact, it is that trait that makes this tome, in my opinion, superior to the other. The only suggestion that I have is to update the book past 1990.
