Solid, Informative look at Hall-of-FamersNov 23, 2009
The authors present each of the nearly 300 persons currently enshrined in baseball's Hall of Fame (located in Cooperstown, New York). Each player, plus a few owners and others has his own page, complete with informative biography, plus in most cases photo's, baseball card images, etc. Readers come away with an improved understanding of baseball's top players, from well-known performers like Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Jackie Robinson and Hank Aaron, to seldom-remembered 19th Century stars like Hos Radburn, Adrian (Cap) Anson, Denton (Cy) Young, and Mike Kelly. The players are presented chronologically, starting with the 19th Century, then proceeding through the entire 20th Century until finishing up with Cal Ripken and Tony Gwynn. You can read this book straight through, or use it as a handy reference. It also makes a nice gift for baseball aficionados.
Note: The book was published in 2007, and thus has no inductees after Cal Ripken and Tony Gwynn.
