Just as any trip is made more enjoyable with a good travel guide, anyone who really wants to get into baseball needs the Baseball America Directory. Much more than a collection of names and phone... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Baseball America 2005 Directory : Your Definitive Guide to the Game
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The annual Baseball America Directory is the most comprehensive guide for all pro and amateur baseball from, literally, around the world. The leagues, the teams, their organizational clubs, addresses, contact information, the logos, the schedules....it's all here. I have bought, (and still own), every edition ever printed. A must-have tool for any baseball junkie.
The baseball junkie's atlas...

Baseball America set the gold standard years ago with their annual Directory, and have continued to improve upon a great product. If, like me, you are giddy when spring gets closer, at the thought of weekend roadtrips to baseball games and longer vacations where baseball is a component, this book is a must-have. My only complaint: Baseball America tries to wait until the last minute to publish, and that seems to have been getting later each year. I understand that some struggling minor-league teams at the lower levels may make last-minute decisions (e.g. the South Georgia Waves' move in 2002), but I didn't buy last year solely because the book wasn't available in a bookstore until early May. By that time, a significant part of the season is over! It is definitely a priceless addition to the baseball junkie's library, with schedules, team information - even directions to every stadium, major and minor-league. (Their related Almanac is also indispensable - stats on every player and team at every level, plus extras like draft summaries.)
