Teams Books

Thank you very much on great delivery and on the time. Loved the condition of the book, better than expected.Highly recomended!

For those outside the loop of racing, NASCAR garners a great deal of attention. Lost in all the attention paid to that series is a great style of racing collectively known as "open wheel" or "Champ Car." The series has evolved over the years but one thing has always remained. The races are fast, exciting and very competitive. How exciting? Put 800+ horsepower in a 1,600lb car that stands at knee level and enjoy the fun! If you are a fan - new or old - this series from Autocourse is a must-have. Autocourse started doing yearbooks 40+ years ago for the Formula One Grand Prix series and they have grown to include Champ Cars. They offer a tremendous amount of detail about the teams, drivers, cars, technical advances, etc. They also showcase the support series and the up-and-coming drivers in them. Each race is covered in detail with all qualifying times and finishing spots as well as highlights of the event itself. Photography is 100% incredible. That's another point. I enjoy doing my own photography and sometimes it's easy to lose track of things, especially if you don't get the film developed for a while. This book offers tremendous resource materials for someone maintaining photo albums of the events themselves. Basically, if you have a question about this style of racing, you'll find it in this book.

The era of the modern "retro" ballpark for professional baseball started in Baltimore. Author Peter Richmond does an outstanding job weaving the history of the city in sports with the movement to design a new ballpark for the Orioles.

It also ushered in an era where public-private partnerships through tax dollars and other incentives became the means to new facilities. Richmond aptly shows the controversies that follow pro franchises when team owners & league representatives sit at the table with politicians, along with the oftentimes very loud public opinion being heard through the door.

There is a hidden gem in the history, and it concerns Art Modell, the move of the Colts to Indianapolis and the Cleveland Browns. Richmond writes that Modell wanted to move the Browns to Baltimore after the Colts fled the city in the midnight hour, and wanted to time the move with Cleveland receiving an expansion franchise.

The plan - that never got past the idea stage - was years before Modell moved the club to Baltimore and the book was published before the Browns did move to the city.

Books such as Ballpark may unfairly receive the tag of interest only for a reader from that region. At the time of its publication it could have been read as a news story. The text has held up well over the years and now a reader has an excellent history on how the era of baseball stadium construction got started.

A fascinating look at every conceivable aspect of the building of Camden Yards, from the political and legal fighting and the Orioles' crucial demand for and use of design oversight to the farm where the grass was grown. If your community is considering building a ballpark, you'll find the book interesting.

As a Yankees fan I thought I would HATE this book. But I was drawn into the stories behind each of the Yankees failures. The author does a terrific job of combing Baseball facts and his humorous perspective through the eyes of a Yankees hater surrounded by Yankees fans.

I recommend taking a serious look at "Banned in the Bronx: The Yankee Hater Memoirs 1953-2005" whether you are Yankees fan or just cannot stand them. Good read! A must for Red Sox fans!!!

This book is great for anyone who loves baseball - or just loves to hate the Yankees. It's fun to read and is filled with lots of baseball history and interesting stories. There is a lot of detail and a very funny perspective that you don't find in other books on the sport.

I have ordered this publication for the past three years and find it a terrific resource on all major and minor leagues. i travel extensively and use this book to tell at a glance where the home team is playing. I would highly recommend this resource for the true minor(or major) league fan. Great book!

This book is the only one of its kind that I know of. It contains schedules, ticket info, ballpark addresses and directions, phone numbers, and lots of other great stuff for every major league team and most minor league teams. It's perfect for the traveling baseball fan who might be interested in catching a few games while on the road. It's small so it's easy to take along with you; it's well organized so it's easy to find things; and, as far as I can tell it's 100% accurate. It hasn't let me down yet. My only (minor) complaint is that it's not a very rugged book. I got so much use out of mine last summer that I totally wore out the binding! All in all, it's a wonderful book. I can't wait for the 1997 edition to come out so I can help plan some trips for next summer.

I have been looking for a book like this for years, and finally found it. It gives you the card numbers for each years team sets. I hope they will publish one that will update the years for us. This one only goes up to 1996. This book is worth every penny and more. If you have alot of common cards....this is to book to get to make them into team sets!

Breaks down every manufacturer, year by year, and lists each card number (and its player)under the team name. Even includes traded and updates!

I just picked this book up and it's really cool. Not only does it list tons of cool and interesting baseball sites, it's really fun to read as well. I'd recommend this book to ALL baseball fans with access to the Internet.

With so much (good and bad) on the net, a guide beyond the normal search engines is often essential. Rob Edelman's Baseball on the Net does an exemplary job of being that guide. It's tough to imagine it being outdone by anyone else.

I received the books in great condition and in a reasonable time.

This is an excellent book for the Georgia Fan! I purchased one for a birthday gift, and ended up ordering another one for myself! The picures are clear and so exciting. A coffee table book lovers dream!

Had very easy to follow instructions. Was as much fun for 8 yo boy as 17 and 20 yo girls to draw!

My ten year old son received this book for Christmas and he loves it. He has really enjoyed learning to draw is favorite Nickelodeon characters. It has great step by step directions that are very easy to follow and not frustrating.

Rube Foster-what an amazing man! Dr. Robert Cottrell's impeccably researched biography gives us insight into the evolution of an outstanding athlete, coach, manager, businessman, visionary, and co-founder of the Negro Leagues. In this book, we not only get a detailed look into the day-to-day life of a ballplayer (complete with box scores-balls, strikes, hits, walks, stolen bases, and outstanding plays). More importantly, we see the panorama of black ball (and white ball) in the early part of the 20th century as we barnstorm the country and Cuba with Rube and his various teams and teammates. This biography joins the pantheon of other works by Dr. Cottrell. In his earlier biographies of I.F. Stone, Nicholas Comfort, and Roger Baldwin, we saw sensitive yet balanced looks at strong-willed men in conflict with oppressive conservatism and prejudice in the areas of journalism, religion, and social injustice. Now, we are treated to the same spirited view of our nation's pastime and one of its unsung heroes. This book about Rube Foster provides us nothing less than a much needed revisionist's look at American history.
