An excellent tribute to the power hitters of baseball
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
No sports figure ever executed a more dramatic change in their sport than Babe Ruth did in baseball. Before he arrived, the home run was an unusual and sometimes derided event. Once he starting hitting them at a high rate, it became the signature event of baseball. In some of his early seasons, Ruth's season totals for home runs matched those of entire teams. This book is a tribute to the players with the power to hit home runs and the techniques that they used. There are many photos and even in the baggier uniforms of the earlier days, you can see discern the body movements that caused the ball to travel. Some of the lesser known batting statistics, such as the slugging and base-out averages are covered with a list of the all-time leaders. At the time of publication, Babe Ruth was the all-time leader in both categories.
