Description

Doug Myers (au); Brian Dodd (au). Pitching & defense win championships in baseball, but fans attend games to see offense. This book pays tribute to baseball’s lumber barons, from Ty Cobb & Tris Speaker to Barry Bonds & Mark McGwire. It celebrates more than a century’s worth of major league hitting through essays, quotes, analyses, interviews, & amazing facts. The records -- from the famous to the little known & fascinating -- are presented as tales to be told, not just as a listing of names, dates, & numbers. Covers: the greatest hitting teams; the most productive games & innings; & the effect of the ballpark on hitting, from the Baker Bowl to the Green Monster. “This book will entertain fans of all ages.” Photos.
