Summary:
Who is the best baseball player of all-time? Why everyone knows it
was Babe Ruth, he built Yankee Stadium and only rescued the game
after the infamous 1919 Black Sox Scandal. Or was it Ted Williams? He
was the last batter to hit. 400 in a season and wrote books on the
art of hitting. What about Willie Mays or Ty Cobb. Or even Pete Rose
the all-time hits leader? Think the argument is moot? Well author Ken
Shouler doesn't. In his book The Real 100 Best Baseball Players of
All-Time...and Why! all of the above players are considered, but only
one can be considered as the best. Statistics are the groundwork. The
criteria is accomplishments not lifestyle and this isn't some tepid
alphabetical list either. Williams or DiMaggio, Ruth or Aaron, Mays
or Mantle, the arguement of who was better has gone on for
generations. Shouler makes his case that one player is better than
another and why. Each of the top 100 players are ranked and evaluated
by looking not only at their numbers but at their impact on the game
as well. The Real 100 Best Baseball Players of All-Time...and Why! is
a combination of facts, quotes and anecdotes, with complete
statistics on all the top 100 players as well as black and white
photos throughout. You may be surprised at who is at the top, who is
on the list and who got left off, but if you do disagree we'll
welcome your argument, but be prepared, the burden of proof falls on
your shoulders.
