(4) 4-6 Sports Trivia series. Unlike countless other sports trivia books, this volume includes chapters on women's professional leagues and the black baseball leagues. There is also a helpful explanation for statistical concepts such as ERA ("Earned Run Average") and "batting average." Cartoonish drawings and photos liven up this hodge-podge of baseball lore, much of which can be found elsewhere. Bib., ind.
