Maybe I'm biased

Maybe I'm a bit biased, because I am a contributor to this book, but I found this book both highly entertaining and informational. Like, who knew that Jackie Robinson wasn't the first African-American player in the majors? Or that baseball wasn't really invvented in Cooperstown, N.Y.? Or that the Babe wasn't really calling that infamous home run? All these myths are exploded and painstakingly researched (by yours truly) and tell a riveting story of baseball. I highly recommend this book to any diehard baseball and/or trivia fans.
