The book will look at the history of the home run, the game's greatest sluggers, as well as other factors that have led to the home run affecting the game. From Babe Ruth's homers that saved baseball, to the slugging 1950s and 1960s when many great home run hitters arrived, to today's game tainted by a steroid scandal. It will also include all the team and individual records and dramatize record-breaking performances. It will also talk about the various ballparks and answer questions of how the baseball has changed. Is it juiced to travel further, etc.

Review:

It's Outta Here! is an anecdotal and fact-filled book that tells the story of the home run from the beginning. The whole history is here—the great sluggers, the chase to the records, the biggest home runs, questions about "juiced" baseballs, and the controversy involving performance-enhancing drugs. I totally enjoyed reading it as will baseball fans everywhere. (Kevin Kennedy Former Major League Baseball Manager and Current Analyst For )
