Work Description
Records are the heart and soul of baseball. In over 100 years of major-league history, a long list of remarkable records have been written -- and rewritten -- by the game's hard-throwing, hard hitting and hard-running superheroes. This book is about the breaking of records and the men who broke them. Here you'll read about super-hurlers like Tom Seaver, Steve Carlton, Bob Gibson and Don Drysdale; batting champs like Henry Aaron, Willie Mays and Ted Williams; and champion base-stealer Lou Brock. - Introduction.
