The Baseball Maniac's Almanac - 5th Edition

"Intriguing and inventive. Where else could you find the names of batting champions who didn't hit a single homer all season, or sluggers with more RBIs than games played? Most baseball numbers books leave me glazed and dazed. This one, like baseball itself, is wonderful fun." --Roger Kahn, author of The Boys of Summer
