If you are a baseball fan and need an historical, reference book your library, The ESPN Baseball Encyclopedia, Fifth Edition (Espn Baseball Encyclopedia) is the book. Every season, every player are at your fingertips. There are even sections on the Negro Leagues, Umpires, Coaches and Managers. The only area that is missing is the rosters for each team for each season. The volume does provide the regular players and most important reserves. The price is quite low for the most immense comprehensive single volume on the Nation's Pastime.

This is a wonderful and reasonably priced book for referencing the statistical record of the greatest game ever invented.

As a frequent reader of previous Baseball Encyclopedias, this ESPN version does a great job providing historical statistics and higher level strategyies and implications.

We rely heavily on our ESPN's Baseball Encyclopedia when we have a question about baseball. We keep it readily available. This current edition is our second one. I recommend it to baseball fans.

This is the most exquisite statistical baseball book i have ever seen. Gives pretty much all the major categories for both hitters and pitchers. Gives all postseason game outcomes and generally everything u ever needed to know. There are some bad things about it and really has nothing to do with the book. Why doesnt ESPN sell an annual encyclopedia with all of the updated material? Plus, they should have annual updates for the nba, nhl and nfl as well! That's the only problem: its that damn good!

ESPN again delivers as their 2008 MLB Encyclopedia is a baseball statistics lover's dream come true! Chock full of player information and stats, I've been utilizing my copy for a few months already!
