Book Review: Great Gift for the Baseball Fan
Summary: 5 Stars
The husband/father in this household is a baseball-lover of the first water, well-read and well-versed, who received this book as a peace-offering. Large and handsome, the book brought him discoveries: photographs not in general circulation and tales that made legends real.
Summary of The Baseball Anthology: 125 Years of Stories, Poems, Articles, Photographs, Drawings, Interviews, Cartoons, and Other Memorabilia
"A treat for the baseball aficionado."-Publisher's WeeklyFrom Babe Ruth to Reggie Jackson, Ted Williams to Barry Bonds, the 1869 Red Stockings to the 1993 Blue Jays, The Baseball Anthology gives fans a candid look at the colorful stars and the most thrilling and controversial moments in the history of our national pastime. Read autobiographical profiles of stars from Christy Mathewson to Nolan Ryan, reports of great battles like the World Series of 1912, analyses of significant moments like the Black Sox scandal, and fascinating asides such as a discussion of baseball players' bizarre nicknames. This volume is packed with the words of people who have played, watched, and lived baseball, accompanied by some 200 photographs, cartoons, drawings, and objects of memorabilia. AUTHOR BIO: Joseph Wallace is a longtime baseball fan and student of baseball history. He recently published Abrams' World Series: An Opinionated Chronicle. Sparky Anderson, former manager of the Detroit Tigers, was elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2000.
Like The Ultimate Baseball Book, the oversized anthology covers as much ground as Junior Griffey... and is about as much fun to play with. Filled with photographs, illustrations and cartoons, it chronicles the game from its beginnings, capturing baseball's ethos with punchy snips of fiction, poetry, and journalism extracted from larger, contemporaneous reports woven into a narrative that continually keeps the reader moving.
