The Cultural Encyclopedia Of Baseball

Rating:
Summary: A truly awesome work of research!
Review: An A-to-Z encyclopedia of everything you need to know about the national pastime. Light has done a herculean task of compiling a tome that reminds all of us why we love baseball. I would highly recommend this book to any baseball fan.

Summary: Outstanding Read, Read, and Re-Read!!!
Review: John Herbold, Head Baseball Coach at Cal-State Los Angeles, and a legend in baseball himself, says that this book is one of the BEST works on "The Game" that he's ever had the pleasure to come across! That was enough for me to purchase the book!

Summary: A little-known gem
Review: This is one of the most ambitious baseball research projects ever undertaken, and a book that should be in every serious baseball fan's library. It must be said, though, that the book's lack of footnotes or citations make it troublesome as an academic reference, and there are quite a few factual errors --which, I suppose, inevitably accompany such a vast work. But if you can get past those quibbles, this is a wonderful book to own.
