From the Inside Flap

Every serioous baseball fan knows about the Red Sox, Yankees, Cubs and Dodgers, but who remembers the Rochester Hop Bitters, Chicago Whales and Pittsburgh Stogies. In "Total Ballclubs: The Ultimate Book of Baseball Teams," acclaimed baseball authors Donald Dewey and Nick Acocella bring to life every team -- all 124 of them, including those from the six long-defunct leagues that populated professional baseball during the game's early years -- that has competed in the major leagues since 1871. From the Altoona Mountain Citys to the Worcester Brown Stockings, the authors touch all the bases in a book that picks up where "Total Baseball: The Ultimate Baseball Encyclopedia" left off. With meticulous detail, the authors celebrate baseball history through the stories of its franchises. Rich narrative accounts, key statistics, and often hilarious anecdotes are complemented by almost 300 photographs. No team is overlooked in this entertaining compendium that recounts significant moments in each team's history, as well as delving into engaging stories of the most memorable (and sometimes forgettable) players, managers and owners.
