    About this ebook

    Discover the greatest baseball players of all time!

    Which guys playing right now will they still be talking about in 100 years? A-Rod? Pujols? How about Jeter?

    Why do the best pitchers receive the Cy Young Award?

    Was Honus Wagner anything but a face on a $2,800,000 baseball card?

    Who was this Babe Ruth guy, anyway?

    Sportscaster and New York Times bestselling author Len Berman had lots of questions about the game of baseball. So he put together a group of experts that included all-stars, Emmy Award winners, writers, radio hosts, and enough World Series rings to fill one hand's fingers.

    Is your Favorite player on the list?

    From New York Times bestselling author Len Berman comes an action-packed collection for sports fans of all ages.

    If you had to pick the best baseball players of all time, who would they be? Len Berman gave it a try, and asked a blue-ribbon panel-with experts including World Series champion Bernie Williams and radio host Chris "Mad Dog" Russo-to weigh in too.

    Full of photos, facts, and fun, The 25 Greatest Baseball Players of All Time gives you the stories behind the names. Why do so many people love Babe Ruth? What makes Alex Rodriguez so great? Was Jackie Robinson as important on the field as he was off the field? Discover why Len Berman thinks the 25 players in this book are the greatest-then it's time to start your own debate!

    So who are the 25 greatest baseball players and why?

    Who would be on your list?

    Let the arguments begin!
