Enjoyable Tidbits on Baseball

This book was very enjoyable for me. Each and every year of professional baseball (up to 1994) had a short synapsis and it was great to read through the entire timeline of baseball in basically one sitting. It's not an encyclopedia, it's not meant to be.

Historical Walk Through the Times of Baseball

An excellent walk through the past with a hint of baseball of the future. Just like the great baseball players of the past, this book takes your hand and introduces you to the great players of the past as if you were reading their diary.

Wonderful History

This is a great book for anyone who loves baseball history.

Good, but could be better.

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.

Excellent resource tool

This timeline shows in flawless details the progression of America's game. From the age of baseballs infancy to todays world of superstars and shattered records this is a perfect tool for those aiming to keep it straight.
