"""I feel like I could relate to the author as I read this. Many of these players were my heroes also. My son loved reading this and asking me questions about the ball players that I knew. It was a great bonding experience. It is filled with easy to read sections. You can pick it up and open to just about any page and start reading. There are nice short sections. It also encourages the reader to work on creating their own all star team."" -- Customer Review ""My nephew loves baseball but doesn't like to read. I found this book and ordered it for him and he loved it. I got him to read and that's all that mattered to me."" -- Customer Review ""This book is a fun read, with short and easy-to-read little biographies of some of the 'great' players in baseball history. The bios are brief and there are fun little facts interspersed throughout, making this a bit of a page turner just to see what and who is next. While the reading is easy I think adults will have a good time reading along with younger readers, sharing and passing along their love of baseball to a new generation of fans."" -- Customer Review"
