Book, Superstars of Baseball by Bob Broeg

This softcover book's subtitle is: "Their Lives, Their Loves, Their Laughs, Their Laments". According to the author, this book "is meant to make these 55 giants of baseball come alive again as persons more than players". From Whitey Ford to Hank Aaron, from Jackie Robinson to Mickey Mantle, Broeg takes you back in time to 'meet' them all (including stats for each). At an award ceremony in 1980 the author spoke these words, "If every man has his idea of heaven, mine would be a ball game every day in the hereafter with the best players each playing in their prime." That sure sounds familiar! ©1994; first published in 1971. Size: 7½ x 9¼ inches; 533 pages. In used, but very good condition!
