Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

YA-The 1998 major league baseball season will go down in sports annals as one of exciting action, record-breaking performances, and exemplary sportsmanship. The race to break the home-run records of Babe Ruth and Roger Maris thrilled not only baseball fans but also a nation woefully in need of some heroes. YAs can relive this memorable season through great photos and sports writing, plus statistics.

This review is from: Home Run Heroes: Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, and a Season for the Ages (Hardcover)

Apparently rushed into print to take advantage of the chemically-fueled Sosa/McGwire home run race. Fine photos, but lacks any analysis at all. Not up to the high standard set by SI.
