Product Description
Baseball has long been the great American pastime. Every year, millions of people follow the awesome annual rituals of their favorite teams. From the off-season to spring training, the long season punctuated by the All-Star Game, the late-season pennant races, and the World Series. In this unique book, 365 rare and timeless images from the National Baseball Hall of Fame's unparalleled photographic archives are drawn together to evoke the familiar rhythm of baseball's year.
Ranging from the turn of the 20th century to the 1960s, these photographs capture the thrilling daily life of the game. Exciting action shots, humorous moments, publicity stunts, players in the off-season, colorful shots of minor-league and armed-forces baseball, and personal snapshots are only a few of the fresh images assembled. Author Joseph Wallace, writer of four highly praised books on baseball, captures your interest with lively commentary. But it is the telling images—Lou Gehrig with the Marx Brothers in the 1930s, small-town spring-training games, Ted Williams, Jackie Robinson, and others in action—that evoke the true texture and flavor of the classic American sport that is baseball.
Joseph Wallace is the author of Abrams' The Autobiography of Baseball, The Baseball Anthology, and World Series: An Opinionated Chronicle, as well as A Gathering of Wonders: Behind the Scenes at the American Museum of Natural History. He lives with his family in New York.
Size: 9.5" x 6.5" x 2.5". 744 pages.

The good old days
Posted by Danielle on 26th May 2009
I'm not a big sports fan, but I do love those Tigers. Summer memories always include going down to the old ballpark, and playing catch with dad in the backyard. This book has great photo's and facts that any dad would love...you can almost smell the hotdogs.
