Baseball's Best 1,000 : Rankings of the Skills, the Achievements and the Perfomance of the Greatest Players of All Time

Rating:
Summary: Good Book With Erratic Photo Selection.
Review: Mr. Gentile has a pretty good style for summing up a players career and his rankings are good conversation starters. Unfortunately, though photos have been attached to nearly every player in the book, some players are misrepresented. George Stone, Mike "King" Kelly and George Bell have other players photos representing them. Jeff Heath who played from 1936- 1949 is shown twice on the list. Mr. Heath, who played for the Cleveland Indians, Boston Braves and Washington Senators, is shown first in the 900 numbers, attached by a picture of a player from the Oakland A's. He also is in the 400's again, with the same writeup, but now with a picture of a 19th century player. George Bell, a player of African American descent, is represented by a picture of a baseball card, circa 1913 of a caucasion player. George Stone who played in the first decade of the 20th century is represented by a photo of a player from the Texas Rangers, a team which didn't exist till 1972.
Lefty O'Doul, ranked at #495 also has another picture of himself, representing #494 John Olerud.

A pretty good book but somebody point out to whoever selected the photos, even if they don't know the players, how obvious silly it is showing a post 1945 Boston player to represent King Kelly, a 19th century star.
