Great book from the best in sports!

From the late stage of the 19th century, the sporting news has been the bible of baseball, it has covered every aspect of the americas pasttime, from little Eddie Gaedel to the big bats of Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, the book is one of the best or perhaps the best on the market covering the illustrated story of the sport. Join TSN from the mere start of the american league, via the upstart federal league, and to modern times of interleague play. Join TSN through wars, depression and a bunch of presidents. Over the years TSN has influenced baseball, for example by the save and relief pitchers. The book contains articles from the times when the events happened plus some text from today. As a regular subscriber, I am proud to have this book in my collection. There is some other stories that have been closed out, but nevertheless this book is given a perfect 10. It makes a hell of a birthday or christmas gift to anyone between 10-100 who loves baseball.

Fantastic

This book chronicles the history of baseball in the 20th century as seen through the momentous archives of The Sporting news, the baseball weekly that has seemingly been around almost since the beginning of professional baseball. Numerous photos, cartoons, articles, and features detail the sport's history, from the beginning of the American League in 1901, the 1914 "Miracle Braves," the Black Sox Scandal, both World Wars, the Babe, the "Iron Horse", Ted, Joltin Joe, Jackie Robinson, and too many other ballplayers to mention, the "Television Age" and the beginning of several major league team moves and expansion, thru to events of the 1990s, inlcuding Cal Ripken's breaking of Lou Gehrig's consecutive games streak and Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa's home run "duel" in 1998, to the 2000 "Subway series."

I can't think of anyone better to take on a project like this and publish a book that covers the last century of baseball so well.

From its exclusive archives, The Sporting News recreates a century of baseball's moderan era, from 1901 through 2000.

Baseball is a look at baseball history and how The Sporting News-?the Bible of Baseball-?covered the legendary players and events, from Babe Ruth and his 1927 season to Mark McGwire and his 1998 season. From Lou Gehrig's farewell address at Yankee Stadium, to Cal Ripken's Iron Man--breaking celebration at Camden Yards.

Publishing since 1886, The Sporting News not only has a unique perspective in covering the game of baseball since its beginning, but also has played a unique role in the creation of the game, from the birth of the American League to the save. It's a history of baseball like none other done before.
