[Jamie · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good anthology of short articles and photos from different baseball eras. Includes stories about the sport's greatest teams and profiles players from Sandy Koufax to Satchel Paige. One of my complaints is that pictures don't necessarily match up with the articles. But overall, it's fun and easy to flip through.
