Baseball: It's More Than Just a Game

Baseball fans everywhere will enjoy a new perspective on the game with this collection of stories which span the history of the game. From the author himself: Throughout my baseball announcing career I collected an enormous amount of written material on the game including a personal library of more than 400 volumes on baseball. But I had never seen one book easy to read and easy to use that had everything. This book comes very close. Its not a record book full of stats. It is a book that traces the beginnings of baseball while also bringing to light some of the background stories along with baseball's unusual feats and firsts. I have included a few personal memories from my life and the game, too. Everything from where the game has been played on the major league level to the top stars from the Negro leagues and minor leagues are remembered. In my opinion it is a book perfect for the long time baseball fan to the newcomer to the game. It should be on every fan's book shelf. I know if the same book had been written by someone else in the past it would have been on mine for years.
