Book Summary
Experience baseball's most exciting moments, World Series
heroics, greatest players, and more!
Baseball,
America's pastime, is a sport of moments that stand the test
of time. It is equally a sport of a new generation of
heroes, whose exploits inspire today's young fans. This
combination makes for a winning debut in Legends:
The Best Players, Games, and Teams in Baseball.
This is no traditional almanac of mundane statistics, but
rather a storyteller's journey through baseball's storied
game. Told in fun, accessible chapters and accompanied by
iconic photos, a slew of Top Ten lists for kids to chew on
and debate, and a Timeline of the 40 Most Important Moments
in Baseball History, this collection covers some of the
greatest players from Babe Ruth to Hank Aaron; the greatest
teams to take the field and swing the bats; the greatest
social triggers, such as Jackie Robinson's breaking of the
color barrier; the greatest playoff rivalries, including the
2004 showdown between the Red Sox and Yankees that turned
into an instant classic; and, of course, the
edge-of-your-seat World Series moments that left some
cheering while others wept. This is the perfect book
for young fans eager to learn more about the sport that will
stay with them for a lifetime.
