Amazing Baseball

Baseball Startling Stories and Records by Jim Benagh is a great book for kids who like baseball. It tells facts that you never thought could happen in baseball history. For instance it tells that Babe Ruth hit a baseball over 750 feet long! It also tells about famous baseball players and the history of baseball. Some of the records are unbelievable but still true. One is that Nolan Ryan pitched a fastball at 100.9 MPH.I enjoyed this book because it told me so much about all of the players that I know. I am a baseball player and fan so it was fun for me to read. I would give these book 3 stars out of 4 and would recommend it to anyone that likes baseball. I think that the author wrote this because he wanted to show that baseball has been a tradition of fun for years. If I was to rate this on a scale of 1 to 10 I would give it a 9.
