Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Gr. 4^-7. There are sure to be plenty of books written about the 1998 season of Sosa and McGwire, but libraries looking for an inexpensive account to have on hand when spring training starts can't go wrong with this oversize paperback. A peppy text and action-filled color photographs chronicle the race to break Roger Maris' home run record. Although only the highlights can be covered in 32 pages, McGwire and Sosa come across as real people who worked hard for their achievements. Particularly welcome is the look back at Roger Maris' home run struggle and how he was reviled by some for trying to break the great Babe Ruth's record. The stats of each player's runs finish off this engaging book. Ilene Cooper
