The Sporting News Baseball Register 1999 doesn't waste a lot of time with small talk--and that's a good thing. It begins with a brief table of contents and then gets right to the point: providing the detailed career statistics of everyone who played in the majors in 1998, from Jeff Abbott to Michael Zywica and from Sammy Sosa (.308, 66 HR, 158 RBI) to Scott Sheldon (.125, 0 HR, 1 RBI). (No offense, Scott.) The stats include the usual suspects (batting average, hits, home runs, etc.) as well as birthplace, birth date, schools attended, career transactions, awards, career milestones, and more. The book also provides the statistics of dozens of minor-league prospects and all current major-league managers. In addition, there are sections on the 1998 statistical leaders and the 1999 Hall of Fame inductees. A fun, thorough, well-done baseball reference guide. --Andy Boynton
