150th Anniversary Album of Baseball (Picture Albums)

Gr 6 Up A pictorial history of baseball beginning with Cooperstown in 1839 and continuing to the present day is presented in eight short chapters. Individual players as well as remarkable events are highlighted in brief text and in 145 black-and-white photographs. Included in the photographs are parks, individual players, and teams. The informative, up-to-date text flows smoothly with good transitions and accurate facts. An appendix of National League and American League franchises and the Baseball Hall of Fame members is included. A must read for those who love to hear the magic words ``play ball'' each spring.
