Description
The personal insights of more than 100 leading players of the past and present are contained in this illustrated guide to what it is like to play major-league baseball. Drawing on biographies, interviews, and newspaper and magazine articles, the author presents topics such as what Babe Ruth and Tony Gwynn considered to be the best way to hold a bat; Hank Greenberg, Jackie Robinson and Roberto Clemente comparing notes on overcoming prejudice; and Ty Cobb, Grover Cleveland Alexander and Mike Schmidt commenting on facing the end of their careers.
