Concise, fact-filled, illustrated

I've waited a long time for this ! This is one of the best baseball history books I've ever read. This book is filled with information, statistics and other history related headlines of the past and present centuries. The illustrations are fantastic images of the yesteryear and today.

I recommend this book to all generations, especially today's, if they want to learn about baseball history, this book is the best way to get started.

Congratulations to Mr. Solomon for his super book !

Good tales, needs proofreading

This book delivers what you'd expect--a People magazine look at baseball history. There are some fine stories about colorful players, but on every other page, something missed by the editors will jump out at you and scream "didn't anyone proofread this thing!"

If you don't mind reading an unpolished book, it may not bother you. But knowing that fans of baseball books are by and large sticklers for detail and statistics, this book could have been much, much better with only a little more cleaning.

Once you get past that, and the fact that you won't find any statistics to speak of, it's a fun read. Get it for the bathroom.

Great for next generation of baseball fans

This book is great for young baseball fans, like myself, who want breakdowns of the classic games that our parents and grandparents told us about. Its' one drawback is that it doesn't go too much into detail about every little event that happened during each season (if it did, the book would probably be multiple volumes thick), but rather summarizes important events and highlights. It's a great resource to jump around to different infamous or classic seasons, like 1955, 1919, Jackie Robinson's first season, etc. If my interest is sparked on a particular season or event, I'll do further research on the net.

reviews: page 1, 2, 3

With hundreds of illustrations, this comprehensive, thoroughly researched, and compulsively readable record of baseball's greatest moments and seasonal events is sure to stimulate the memories and fantasies of much of American-and serve as an invaluable reference and argument-settler. Baseball has never been chronicled they way this timeline works. It covers every great moment in baseball, along with the colorful people, events, quotations, turning points, scandals, comic moments, and nostalgia of the national sport. Unlike any other baseball book, The Baseball Timeline is a day-by-day, year-by-year account of what happened throughout the baseball world. Every significant event is chronicled with just the level of detail fans want. In addition to individual feats, entries include landmark pennant races, important trades, disputes (on and off the field), famous firsts and lasts, franchise shifts, the openings of new ball parks, and even details of the last game played at stadiums scheduled for demolition. Keep The Baseball Timeline by the TV; let it stand as a home reference that provides nostalgic memories, "the last word" in disputes, or the one place to ensure that you know what really happened. It is a baseball fan's paradise for sidelights, trivia, nostalgia, color, and "I never knew that!" information. Lively text invites readers in for an exciting tour of the past beginning with its possible origins as an Native American game and continuing on through the first season of the new millennium.
