Baseball: THE 20TH CENTURY

THIS BOOK BEGINS IN 1900 AND GOES THROUGH THE 1998 SEASON.IT IS 631 PAGES LONG. THE BOOK IS EXQUISITELY DETAILED. IT COMES COMPLETE WITH OVER 1300 PICTURES. IF YOU LOVE AMERICA'S FAVORITE PAST TIME, THEN THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. IF YOU WANT TO FIND SOMETHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE YEAR 1961, THEN ALL THAT YOU HAVE DO IS FIND THAT PARTICULAR YEAR AND START READING. I PERSONALLY LOVED THIS BOOK BECAUSE I AM A HUGE BASEBALL FAN. EVEN THOUGHT THE BOOK WAS 630 PAGES PLUS I ENJOYED THIS BOOK COVER TO COVER. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T LIKE BASEBALL, YOU CAN PURCHASE THE BOOK FOR A RELATIVE WHO IS COMPLETLY OBSESSED WITH BASEBALL. IT WOULD MAKE A GREAT GIFT.

20th Century Baseball Chronicle

Beginning in 1900 and going through 1998, this 631-page book is beautifully illustrated with more than 1300 photographs and truly brings to life the entire history of modern major-league baseball as it captures the drama and splendor of America's national pasttime. It is arranged in easily accessible year-by-year chapters containing each year's major events, stats and record-setting performances of the dominant players, photos of individuals and teams, and award winners. This book is a definite must in the library of a died-in-the wool baseball fan.
