More that anything, Baseball is presented through splendid pictures. Breif texts help to identify the players or subects photographed. A superb buy, considering its price.
Of Such Pleasing Incidents Is The Pastime Made Up
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Joseph Wallace has put together a book of over 700 pages of memories for the baseball fan. If you are a fan of the game you will find memories of the past 35 years with a color photo on the right side of the book with a description of the photo on the left. The book is quite heavy since the paper is of a high quality and slick. My favorite photo is entitled "Where Does the Time Go?" that shows Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Warren Spahn, and Joe Torre after their playing careers were over. Gibson, Brock, and Torre are in their Cardinals' uniform while Spahn sports a Milwaukee Braves' uniform. The description states the image of these players is not the one fans associate with these individuals, but reminds us of the continuing passing of the years. My favorite quote comes from Gaylord Perry who stated, "The trouble with baseball is that it is not played the year round." Beautiful action photos along with heartbreaking photos of defeat as well as thrilling victorious moments of recent decades of the men who are included in any baseball fan's memory make this a worthwhile book for your baseball library.
