Synopsis
The classic baseball book--with a new section on the 1980s and an essay by George F. Will. "The historical text, the anthology of essays, (and) the selections of photographs with their lively captions . . . (show) why baseball's hold on our national imagination remains unique."--New York Times. 850 photographs.

Review
With a line-up of essayists that includes Red Smith, Robert Creamer, Wilfred Sheed, and Tom Wicker, this coffee-table volume, which separates the game's rich history into decades, reached all-star status the day it debuted almost 20 years ago. It is literate and literary, but so are many of baseball's best books; no other one connects its words with its hundreds of photographs in such an elegant double-play.
