"A rich concoction of narrative, essays, and photos [that] dazzles the eye.... In so many ways you are reminded that rooting for baseball is like breathing." -- The New York Times "Stirring and reflective.... A beautiful book that stands on its own in any league." --David E. Jones, Chicago Tribune "Glorious nuggets are set amid the clear, warm narrative and hundreds of classic images....

There are splendid pictures [and] there are words, rollicking reams of them. And the stories, Lord, the stories!" -- Dick Roraback, Los Angeles Times "To capture the history of baseball, especially in hundreds of photographs that are the wonder and glory of this book, is to plumb a memorial register so deep that no fan open to the emotional power of the game can fail to react." -- Michael Seidel, New York Newsday, "A rich concoction of narrative, essays, and photos [that] dazzles the eye . . .
