4-6Baseball: The Great American Game series.
Energetic sports writing imparts solid histories of the teams through 2006. Well-chosen quotations supply insight, as when Mel Ott says of Yankees catcher Yogi Berra: "He stopped everything behind the plate and hit everything in front of it." Cleanly designed pages feature many generously sized, visually arresting photographs. Throughout, outstanding position players are highlighted to form hypothetical "All-Time Teams." Ind. Review covers these Baseball: The Great American Game titles: The Story of the Atlanta Braves, The Story of the New York Yankees, The Story of the Boston Red Sox, The Story of the Chicago Cubs, and The Story of the Toronto Blue Jays.
