The book is a collection of 100 short Sports Illustrated style essays of about 250 words each. Each essay is accompanied by a usually great relevant quotation and a very good and sometimes extraordinary photograph. The editors of Sports Illustrated did a great job of providing a history of baseball in a nutshell, especially if you are already familiar with the game.

Thanks so much to the publisher and netgalley for allowing me to review this book

Although its obviously for children, this would be an ideal book for anyone just getting into watching the game too. It is well illustrated and explains things in easy to understand terms which even some of my stalwart hockey friends may learn a thing or two of which they didn't know!
I think every ice arena should have copies of this book, especially over here in England. It would maybe help to get more people interested in the sport instead of it been classed as a minority sport… (more)
