About this title

Synopsis

Complete through the 1980 season, before steroids left their mark on baseball, this book is a compendium of more than 475 baseball records, many published for the very first time.

From Library Journal

Samelson, who contributed to The Baseball Encyclopedia ( LJ 9/1/90) and other works of the late Reichler, extends the original Record Book ( LJ 8/81) through the 1991 season. Here are Major League individual and team stats--even before 1900--that go beyond batting, fielding, and pitching, with such listings as brother acts, hardest and easiest players to double up and strike out, and unusual pitching marks. While no substitute for The Baseball Encyclopedia (Macmillan, 1990) and sans the narration provided in The Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract ( LJ 1/86), this greater collection of baseball achievements belongs in collections owning the previous edition.
