Very entertaining book! Bought it for my father, a lifelong Mets fan. He enjoyed reading it and reminising about the clubs history.

I just received a copy of this book a few days ago and I've really enjoyed looking at all of the colorful pictures and reading the interesting and sometimes funny essays. Some of the sites I'll visit (like the Field of Dreams Movie Site), others I think I'll skip (like the courthouse where Joe Jackson couldn't say it wasn't so) but it's fun learning about them all. Good book for a snowy day.

I am a Cardinal Fan, however, my best friend is a Cub Fan. We enjoy seeing Cub/Cardinal games live. He absolutely loved it.

THIS BOOK IS A GREAT ADDITION FOR ANY FAN. NOT ONLY LA BUT IT'S ALSO GOT ALOT OF OTHER BASEBALL INFO AND TONS OF PICS. EZ TO READ AND FIGURE OUT.
THANKS AGAIN. LBSMITH

101 THINGS YOU CAN TEACH YOUR KIDS ABOUT ASEBALL is the book i would have written. it provides great insight and teaches good fundamentals to any parent with a budding baseball player in the family. weel organized and eazy to read. a must for any baseball parent or youth baseball coach. a good, easy read.

I thoroughly enjoyed your book. I have given it as a gift and recommend it highly. One person I gave it to grew up a Brooklyn Dodger fan and he really loved the section about "Leo the lip" Durocher.

If you want to learn about the fading days of Gehrig and the ascendancy of the splendid splinter, you will find it here. The personalities of the various featured players shine through in Talmadge's prose. Easy to read, enjoyable, and inexpensive when bought used, this makes for great summer reading!

The Macmillan Baseball Encyclopedia is simply the best source of information and statistics on baseball around. Other books like Total Baseball give the same information but none are able to deliver it with the clarity of Macmillan. For some reason this baseball bible hasn't been issued since 1997 and baseball is doing its fans a great disservice. Macmillan was the first and as of yet it is the best baseball encyclopedia out there. Even if you can only get a hold of the older editions i still recommend you purchase this concise, easy to read book. Just using it to reference the old time ball players that you always hear mentioned makes this book worth every penny. Once you read this book you'll never want to watch another baseball game without it in your reach. Highly recommended.

i have used this book to look up alot of cards that is was going to buy to see there actual b.v and in the book some of the cards i recently bought were actualy below what there b.v was so i resold them and made a 200% profit! buy this book and find out what your baseball cards are worth.!

This is by far the most detailed baseball book I have ever used. It is the perfect guide for any young man interested in playing collegiate baseball and also for anyone who needs information on a particular college program.
