 Rating: - A collection of almost every statistic imaginableThis book is the baseball fan's dream. Packed with almost every record imaginable, even to statistics about the umpires, it is an organized chronicle of the firsts in baseball. Records for minor league teams and by a teenager are also included. Hours can be spent in poring over the contents of this book; it is both a history of the game and a giver of credit to many players who rarely get it. I enjoyed every page. Rating: - Ultimate "Argument Settler"If you're like me and thousands and thousands of other baseball fans, you love arguing about who was the best player at a particular feat, be it home runs, batting average, stolen bases, etc. The updated version of this book covers this and much more. Everything among standard records is here, along with time capsules of the period from the 1870s until now, and summaries of each season's World Series. For example, the National League originally wanted to vote in the DH back in the 1930's, but the ...

For instance, the first night game of baseball was recorded on 9-2-1880. Mack holds the record as the longest manager in baseball's history. Babe Ruth has the most bases. If there is any fact concerning baseball, it will be listed here in all likelihood. This book would make a wonderful gift for any baseball enthusiast. There are previous versions so ...

(I was only 14 at the time) Still, all these years later, even though some of the records have changed, and there are new ballparks and teams, I still refer to my old copy all the time, especially in December and January, when it seems like spring training will never arrive! Not just a trivia book (though fear not; you will certainly find plenty of that, such as the last wood stadium, ... Read More Rating: - Still the Best of Its KindI've picked up four editions of this book over the years, including the 1999 one. It's interesting to me, and fun, to watch how Nemec manages to incorporate new records and new developments in the game and at the same time maintain the book's basic structure. He even added a new era a couple of years ago--but so neatly I wasn't even aware of it at first. It also brought out the first study I've ever seen on pitchers' batting records. I'd guess there'll be another new edition in 2000, and it'll ... Read More
