Book Description
Call this a labor of love. Call it an honor, a challenge, an opportunity for
closure. Call it appropriate for The sporting News, the publication that has
been a watchdog and chronicle for baseball since 1876, to select the 100
greatest players of the 20th century.
The names roll off the tongue like a split-finger fastball. Babe Ruth. Joe
DiMaggio. Johnny Bench. Greg Maddux. George Brett. Mickey Mantle. Not only
have TSN editors determined the cream of baseball's crop over a 100-year
period, they have dared to rank the players according to talent and passion
they brought to the field and the emotion and excitement they stirred among
generations of fans. All of the Top 100 made a lasting imprint on a game
that celebrates its heroes like no other.
More than 300 beautiful and historic photographs give the book an ambience
beyond its natural appeal. This is nostalgia at its best. From the showy
power displays of Ruth and Mark McGwire to the baserunning finesse of Lou
Brock and the blazing fastballs of Nolan Ryan, there's plenty for everybody.
