The Baseball Maniac Almanac The Absolutely Positively and Without Question Greatest Book of Facts Figures and Astonishing Lists Ever Compiled Sugar Bert Randolph Samelson Ken Books Reviews

• Baseball is the greatest of all sports ; among many reasons is the story all its intricate stats relate and bring to life. This is an exceptional book; hard to put down . Amazing stats and historical contexts
• This is a great book for people who love baseball statistics and lists. The majority of the book contains lists of accomplishments that are somewhat oddball in nature - the type of statistics that you would not find in a Baseball Encyclopedia. A couple of examples are 'Most Home Runs By Left-Hand Hitting Shortstops' and 'Oldest Pitchers To Win 20 Games For The First Time'. There are hundreds of these types of lists and they are all fascinating. The last third of the book contains summaries of all major league teams throughout history. It contains the team record for each year, who managed the teams, Hall of Famers who played on the team, players from the team who led the league in various batting and pitching categories and history of postseason play.
  
  I want to thank the editors and publisher for issuing this 4th edition which is updated through the 2015 baseball season. I've owned the second edition (2010) for many years and had been referencing it to this day.
• It was the perfect gift for my grandson
• You have to go thru a whole bunch of nonsense to finally get to something you might be looking for. Interesting FLUFF, but, not if you're looking for "Just The Facts."
• Baseball and numbers stretch to infinity and following all the different curves with their many uses make for great fun.
• This was a gift for a 10 ear old who is into Baseball Stats. He's very happy with it.
• Great for stats & records.
• A good book, not completely comprehensive, but informative and entertaining!
  Diehard fans may want an encyclopedia, but, until a new one is issued, this will do!
