Baseball America Directory 2002: Your Definitive Guide to the Game (Baseball America's Directory)

Summary: The baseball junkie's atlas...
Review: Baseball America set the gold standard years ago with their annual Directory, and have continued to improve upon a great product. If, like me, you are giddy when spring gets closer, at the thought of weekend roadtrips to baseball games and longer vacations where baseball is a component, this book is a must-have. My only complaint: Baseball America tries to wait until the last minute to publish, and that seems to have been getting later each year. I understand that some struggling minor-league teams at the lower levels may make last-minute decisions (e.g. the South Georgia Waves' move in 2002), but I didn't buy last year solely because the book wasn't available in a bookstore until early May. By that time, a significant part of the season is over! It is definitely a priceless addition to the baseball junkie's library, with schedules, team information - even directions to every stadium, major and minor-league. (Their related Almanac is also indispensable - stats on every player and team at every level, plus extras like draft summaries.)
