This is an excellent rendition of the history of baseball with
emphasis on the post 1903 period. The first World Series was
played in Boston in 1903. The work depicts full black and white
renditions of the old cities at the turn of the century.
The Yankees nearly won the 1904 pennant. In 1910, there was a
highly contested batting race. Early pitching duals thrilled
crowds; such as the exchanges between Koufax and Marichal.
There was great action in the 1918 World Series. Mays performed

spectacularly in center field. Mickey Mantle had an enviable
home run record . Schmidt held the 3rd consecutive home run
title. The book is a spectacular work for any baseball enthusiast. It is highly recommended for purchase by a wide
constituency of teens, young adults, middle age and elderly
citizens who might actually remember some of the earlier
history of baseball in this country.

Tom Seaver has selected some of the greatest moments in baseball history to write about. All of the most memorable events are in there. Seaver, one of the greatest players, has a great knowledge of the game and uses it to create interesting accounts. A great book for a any baseball fan.
