Some Awesome Pics
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
A friend of mine got me this book one Christmas years ago and I kinda rolled my eyes when I got it becoz I thought it would be too generic of a baseball book for me - but there are plenty of good pics in this book, quite a few that I had never seen before (and I have a pretty extensive baseball book collection), and each series' write up is very good.
A baseball fan's dream!
