I really enjoyed this year by year chronological look back at the history of Major League Baseball.
It starts with the "1800's" and then goes to 1901 where each year is given a summary at the beginning. At the bottom is a banner that is filled with information, stats, and other notable happening in baseball during that year. Some of the articles that are in the pages are an extension of the banner items, but each mini write up has a picture to go along with a longer description of the topic. Admittedly, sometimes it is only a few additional words, but the pics make it worth it. As the years pass in the book, the number if pages in the year grow as the game of baseball expands and new changes occur. By the time the reader gets to the end of the book, the last year (2001) has as many pages as 1901, 1902, and part of 1903.
This is a fun book to read and look at, especially if you are looking at the "Golden Years" of Major League Baseball. The book stops at 2001, so it is not the most updated that it could be. Having stopped at that time, does not make any mention of steroids and/or performance enhancing drugs, (though it does mention the cocaine drug scandal in the early 80's). With that said, it can be a fascinating book for fans of baseball, especially new, young fans. I would certainly recommend it to any baseball fan as a fun passage through baseball history.
