Baseball Anthology - Hardcover

Like The Ultimate Baseball Book, the oversized anthology covers as much ground as Junior Griffey... and is about as much fun to play with. Filled with photographs, illustrations and cartoons, it chronicles the game from its beginnings, capturing baseball's ethos with punchy snips of fiction, poetry, and journalism extracted from larger, contemporaneous reports woven into a narrative that continually keeps the reader moving.

Joseph Wallace has written numerous books on science and natural history, including "The American Museum of Natural History's Book of Dinosaurs and Other Ancient Creatures, The Arctic, "and "The Deep Sea," An adventurer at heart, he has been menaced by leopards in the midst of African game parks, canoed through rainforests, and even stumbled upon the wreck of a World War II fighter jet in Papua, New Guinea during the course of his career as a writer. He lives with his family in New York State.
