My ten year old son couldn't put it down.

This is best baseball facts book I have every read. Its fun and entertaining. My son, who is an avid baseball fan checked it out from the library and was rarely seen without it until he had read the entire book. He read it in the car, on the school bus, on the way to his little league games, before bed, after bed, and even during church services. He kept on telling me such amazing and fun facts about baseball that when he finished it I read it too
