Good, but could be better.,
By
This review is from: 125 Years of Professional Baseball (Hardcover)
I, as a dedicated baseball fan, was looking around for a good book on baseball. This book makes for a very good read, and it looks quite attractive. I enjoyed the timeline format, which was a big change from the usual style, and the small pieces of information about the great players of our time. I've read it quite often, and it certinly surpasses other books in this catergory. I've shown it too my friends, and they have enjoyed it too. The auther could have improved it by adding a bit more information, but I suppose inormation is not really neccessary in a book like this. I recomend it to anyone who enjoys playing and reading about baseball.
