This Baseball Book Was a Lot of Fun!

"The Who, What, When, Where, Why and How of Baseball" is a lot of fun. I received it as a gift, and read it all that same night. It's organized into several dozen short chapters on different topics such as "No-Hitters," "The Hall of Fame," and "The World Series." Each chapter covers about six pages of short discussions on topics relevant to the chapter. The discussions are a little like trivia questions, but a lot more interesting. You can read the book chapter-by-chapter, pick out your favorite topics, or just open it to any page.Jim Charlton understands that baseball fans are drawn to accomplishments...the "lore" of the game. This book is full of them. It reads quickly and easily, and will interest baseball fans with a wide variety of interests and levels of knowledge. It would make a great gift. I can highly recommend this book to any baseball fan, although I wouldn't suggest it for kids with a reading level of under, say, fifth or sixth grade. It's not a groundbreaking book, but it is fun and interesting. Enjoy it.
