About this title

Synopsis

At last, here is baseball history never told until now! As revealed for the first time in Setting the Record Straight: Baseball's Greatest Batters, baseball fans finally will learn who are the game's 50 greatest batters of the 20th century and who were the true American and National League batting champions each season since 1900.

Despite baseball's seemingly countless official statistics, none measures batting proficiency accurately or permits batters from different eras to be ranked objectively. By applying new, relevant and easy to calculate batting statistics, the true proficiency of batters past, present and future can be illuminated as never before.

Had these new statistics been available to baseball from the beginning, the game could have avoided underrating many truly great batters while overrating many others who have enjoyed inflated reputations. Baseball now can set the record straight.

Illustrated with historic photos of the 50 greatest batters of all-time obtained from the George Brace collection, Setting the Record Straight: Baseball's Greatest Batters provides a provocative and fascinating insight into baseball's heretofore hidden history. The book will compel many thoughtful fans and experts to reassess their cherished beliefs about many of their favorite baseball players.

From the Back Cover

Ruly Carpenter, Former President of the Philadelphia Phillies
