Synopsis

Even the most ardent baseball fan will be amazed at the quirks, quips, and comments in Baseball Gold. Consisting entirely of bits and pieces of baseball’s offbeat history, this volume covers teams and a myriad of players, owners, managers, and broadcasters—from their exploits on the field to those behind clubhouse doors. It can even be picked up in the middle and read backward—one nugget at a time.

About this title

From the Publisher:

"Throughout my career, I have always enjoyed being on a winning team. I'm sure the team that produced this project will maintain that tradition. So sit back, relax, and read about the glorious history of our national pastime--and some not-so-glorious parts, too--all saved in one lavishly illustrated volume. I'm saving a prominent spot for it on my coffee table." --from the foreword by Brooks Robinson
