About this title

From the Publisher

A treasury of the biggest hitters to ever step to the plate with the legendary Louisville Slugger bat in hand. Babe Ruth never stepped to the plate without one. Neither did Hank Aaron, Ted Williams, Ty Cobb, or any of the other of the sluggers of yesterday and today. Not to mention the hometown hero that knocked one into the parking lot at last night's Little League game. This book gathers together the stories and statistics of these great players.
