The Story of Baseball is quite simply the best book I have ever read on the subject and will appeal to young and old alike. It is very readable and filled with interesting facts and anecdotes about the sport.

With a foreword by Ted Williams this readable, generously illustrated volume is a trove of stories, historical data, and traditions. Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Roger Maris, Mark McGwire and all the greats relive some of baseball's most memorable moments. Ritter, an acknowledged expert in this field, shares his knowledge as he examines and analyzes hitting, pitching and fielding.

This book tells the history of baseball. It highlights the past and present ball players. This book also explains the rules and how to play or be a better player. It helps those who don't understand the game to be able to understand as a viewer. This is a great book to own! Contains excellent black and white sport illustrations. An excellent book and I am recommending it for teachers, parents, and students from 3rd grade through the 12th grade levels.
This book was great!

I would recommend it for anyone who likes baseball. I would also like to comment on the "misprint". There was a team called the Boston Braves. They moved first to Milwaukee and then to Atlanta.
