Summary: The Chronicle of Baseball--A Real Winner!
Review: I spotted "The Chronicle of Baseball" on the Amazon.com website several weeks ago while searching for new titles on this subject. When I learned that the book was available, I went to one of the local bookstores to look at it. It didn't take me long to decide to purchase it.

The chapters are done by individual years, with highlights of the baseball season and post season, along with excellent commentary on the various events of the century affecting the game, including the two World Wars, the Depression and competition from other sports.

But it is baseball that occupies center stage. Aside from the yearly chapters, there are also profiles of individual players and an "at a glance" look at the leaders in the major statistical categories for each year as well as the award winners. Surrounding all of this is an incredible array of photographs, in color and black and white.

Mehno paints a picture of the National Pastime that is at once compelling and interesting, without overwhelming the reader with boring text. Each chapter gives the reader a strong sense of what happened in that particular year. His knowledge and love of the game come through strongly.

If you buy one baseball book this year, this is the one!

Summary: The Chronicle Of Baseball
Review: This is a book that appears to be a great reference book. However, there are already several erors on my initial review of this book. There are photos that are listed as being from a particular year when in fact they are not from the year listed. How do I reach John Mehno or Deborah Fioravanti, who is listed as the picture research person for this book. If there are mistakes on facts about photos, then it seems logical there are other mistakes.
