Description
The greatest honor bestowed upon a professional baseball player is membership in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. Only 1% of those who have played major league baseball have secured a place in Cooperstown. The "best of the best" in the game includes a diverse list of players, managers, officials, arbitrators, and pioneers of the game, and includes the Negro league greats who were denied the opportunity to play on major league fields because of the color barrier. The profiles and photos in this book bring to life the personalities who, through talent and foresight, have contributed to the enjoyment and excitement of baseball. The records in the back of the book show their vast achievements through statistics.
