A Stitch in Time: A Baseball Chronology, 1845-2002 written by the "Voice of the Astros" for over 25 years, Gene Elston, covers in detail the exciting, unusual, strange, and forgotten events of Baseball from 1845 to date.

This one-of-a-kind book details events from all areas of the game, including notable events in the major leagues, good coverage of the minor leagues, women in baseball, the Negro leagues, as well as behind-the-scene trades, scandals, machinations, and other highlights.

 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This book is great if you appreciate both the little guys along with the superstars that make baseball such a beloved game. Not only does it have some recent developments in baseball, but also bookmarks key happenings from the past that have evolved the game. A very readable book for the baseball lover.
