Almanac

Baseball America's Almanacs are a great resource to revisit the past season from MLB, minor/independent leagues, and college baseball. Also has the MLB draft picks by teams. Overall, a nice book/almanac to have around!

There are several good sports almanacs available including the Sports Illustrated and ESPN almanacs. They both give comprehensive coverage to all major sports. This almanac, however, is a must if your major interest baseball because it not only gives in depth coverage of the major leagues, it also covers the minor leagues, college and even high school. The beginning of the book includes historical stats and records. Then, each individual team is covered in depth. This is a great resource and since, the media do not cover the minor leagues in baseball as they do colleges in football and basketball, this almanac is a great reference as to who the up and coming young stars are.

I get this book every year and study it cover to cover. Baseball America does a fantastic job covering all the little things about the past baseball season. It has a great year in review section and compiles its own first and second team all stars. It also has a comprehensive listing of the minor league, college and high school season. There is an incredible amount of stats in this book that one could study for hours upon hours. This is a must have for any baseball fan and stat-head like me.
