The Baseball 100
Ratings6
Average rating4.8
A sportswriter and lifelong student of the game, Posnanski that tells the story of baseball through the lives of its greatest players. His choices include iconic Hall of Famers, unfairly forgotten All-Stars, talents of today, and more. Rather than relying on records and statistics, he retraces players' origins, illuminates their characters, and places their accomplishments in the context of baseball's past and present. The result is a rich pageant of baseball history, and stories that have long gone unheard. -- adapted from jacket

If you love baseball, you will love this book. Posnanski admits early on this list is meant to create dialogue and even animosity, but that's what I love - he's bringing these players back into the forefront that have long been forgotten.
This book dazzled me. It made me wish I had lived over a hundred years to see each and every one of these players. But unfortunately I didn't, so instead we have The Baseball 100.
