Baseball's Best 1,000: Rankings of the Skills, the Achievements and the Perfomance of the Greatest Players of All Time FROM THE PUBLISHER
The first book to present the lives, legends, and lore of baseball's best 1,000 players together in one, gigantic, illustrated volume.
Using various (and largely subjective) criteria including lifetime statistics, personal and professional contributions to the game at large, sportsmanship, character, popularity with the fans, and more, sports writer Derek Gentile ranks the best players of all time.
Along with a ranking, information on each player is presented, including the teams on which he's played throughout his career, positions played, lifetime statistics, and a brief biography -- as well as a photograph. Baseball's Best 1,000 is sure to spark controversy and debate among fans.
