GREAT Birthday Gift for a Fanatic 
I gave this to an 80 yr old fanatic, who immediately looked at a photo, said who it was, and then gave a sports announcer history commentary! I was surprised he hadn't received it earlier, but I took the chance. The photos are really impressive – even for me; the rest was beyond my interest. So- judging from HIS reaction, I would say it is a pretty fantastic book for a baseball nut.

Baseball Addicts Dream Book
I bought this book for my 12 year old nephew. He said his dad has a copy but won't let him look at it. He was so happy to get his own copy. He was showing it to everybody. And … the best part is, Auntie got a big hug from him.
