They’re all here in Baseball: 365 Days, a colorful, surprising, and even moving panorama of baseball from 1970 until the present day. Drawn from the archives of Major League Baseball, Baseball’s photographs--many never before published--trace the arc of star ballplayers’ careers: from minor-league triumphs to life in the Big Show to retirement and Hall of Fame election. In lively commentaries, veteran baseball writer Joseph Wallace offers anecdotes and stats that help bring these wonderful photos to life.
Even the most casual baseball fan will find much here to treasure. America’s pastime has never seemed more alive.
