Some Awesome Pics

A friend of mine got me this book one Christmas years ago and I kinda rolled my eyes when I got it becoz I thought it would be too generic of a baseball book for me - but there are plenty of good pics in this book, quite a few that I had never seen before (and I have a pretty extensive baseball book collection), and each series' write up is very good.

A baseball fan's dream!

A great book! A must have for any baseball fan! Stats and all, plus summaries and photos! A+
