Good source of information for those who are interested in baseball history. I especially enjoyed the yearly summaries of the major and postseason events for each season. The rest of the book is interesting and helpful if you are looking up basic information, but it is not particularly in-depth. More concerning, I found a number of errors and inconsistencies in the writing and statistics (players listed with the wrong team, numbers that don't match up, etc.) That took it down a star for me.
