The Great All-time Baseball Record Book : A Unique Sourcebook of Facts, Feats and Figures
By Joseph L. ReichlerMost record books have the same old stats: most home runs, fewest losses, most strikeouts, highest batting average, and so on. But where do you find the unusual stats, the records that show the other side of our national pastime? The source is The Great All-Time Baseball Record Book, an exhaustive compilation of more than 475 baseball statistical records covering pitching, fielding, batting, team, and rookie accomplishments. First compiled in 1981 by Joseph Reichler, the late editor of the first seven editions of The Baseball Encyclopedia, The Great All-Time Baseball Record Book has been updated and revised through the 1992 season. This volume contains many stats not available in the standard stat books, in categories such as: best stolen base duos; most extra-inning home runs, career; hitting streaks of 20 games or more; most wins in a season by age.And the list goes on and on. The Record Book tells you not only the player who holds the record but when and against what team he set it. The Record Book even has the players who came close (players with two legs of the Triple Crown) and the players who ruined opponents' dreams (no-hit spoilers). Now you will have the answers to these questions and more: which pitchers have won twenty games and hit .300? What team has scored the most runs in one inning? Who was the hardest player to double up?The Great All-Time Baseball Record Book also gives you a list of every grand slam slugged in the history of the American and National leagues.The player index makes it easy to see at a glance how many records your favorite players hold: each player appears with a list of his achievements.This is the baseball reference book that will settle arguments and provide fresh trivia for new debates. No true baseball fan should be without The Great All-Time Baseball Record Book, a necessary addition to any sports bookshelf.
