(4) 4-6 Baseball Legends series. The four biographies follow the series formula: a talented athlete has early success, battles frustration on and off the field, cracks the majors, has a couple good years, and makes a fortune on the free agent market. Little attention is paid to the athletes' personal lives. Tuttle looks at the history of the minor leagues, including notable players and moments. Mediocre black-and-white photos, chronologies, and stats are included in all the volumes. Bib., ind.
