Great Reference Book!

I am really enjoying this book. Most reference books are written in a boring tone, but this book is very readable. For each decade, there is an overview of what was going on in baseball during that time. Then, for each year, there is a discussion of what happened in baseball that season, including many photos. At the end of each year, there is a cheat sheet with the season's highlights. This book should be in every baseball fan's library. It will expand your knowledge of the game and help you settle disputes with your friends about what happened when.

GREAT

This book is a great review of the first century of major league baseball. Not only is it extremely accurate, but it shows how baseball changed due to the problems facing the U.S.- ie the depression and racism. This is a must read for any baseball fan.

GREAT

This book is very accurate description of the first 100 years of baseball in the U.S. THe book follows the major leagues in incriments of 10 years up until 2000. Moreover, the book adds important information about how important times in history effected the game. For example- racism and the depression of the 1920's. This book is a MUST read for any serious baseball fan or "history buff."
