A Solid Drive Over The Center Field Wall For A Grand Slam May 19, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Since its start in the early-1940s, Baseball Digest has been a credible source for current information and historical recollections on the sport.
This compendium is a terrific tour of the coverage in print and photographs that has been chronicled over the many years. This is an absolute must for a baseball fan or for any reader who is seeking accurate history on the life and times of "The Grand Old Game."

Number 1 Book to have on baseball history June 4, 2006
5 out of 9 found this review helpful
This book is very interesting to read, I enjoyed this book because of the history, the writing of the time and pictures of the players. It has so much to cover, this book could of been twice the size and still not cover all the history. It has a lot of facts and so many great stories of the players, umpires and families of the players. It is a great book to go back to and use for a reference. I give it 5 stars.
If you enjoy this book get the magazine "Baseball Digest" for more great stories.
You will never sell this book once you buy it! Worth every penny! Does Amazon have a 6 star ranking? April 4, 2006

"The Best of Baseball Digest" is truly the bargain of the century considering it's incredible content. I expected alot from this book and when it finally arrived it exceeded all of my expectations. There are over 116 enjoyable articles on baseball dating back to Baseball Digest's start in 1942. This massive collection of 453 pages is presented in a fashion in which the reader can read an article a day, yet it is entertaining enough to where you may have difficulties putting it down. Some of the baseball articles in this book are: Ty Cobb, How Connie Mack passed up the Babe, The Mickey Mantle I Know, When a Midget Batted as a Major Leaguer, Reggie's Moment, Rickey Henderson, The Day I Collected Babe Ruth's Autograph, When the Red Sox Terminated the Curse of the Bambino, Ichiro Suzuki a Hitting Sensation, and so many more. Not only are these articles written by some of the best in baseball and sports writing, but this book also contains close to 100 pictures that are both rare and shocking. This is truly one of the best baseball book purchases I have ever made. This one will be on my shelf forever to later pick up and be read once again. Robert Pedersen www.fatherachildsright.org
