From the Publisher
Learn about these baseball stars and more:
Willie Mays
Coaches, managers, and baseball writers all like to talk about the tools a player has. “Player X is a five-tool player,” they’ll say. The five tools are speed, arm strength, fielding ability, hitting for average, and hitting for power. Regarded as possibly the greatest five-tool player, Willie Mays put up the numbers to prove it. Ted Williams, another baseball great, said, “They invented the All-Star Game for Willie Mays.”
Randy Johnson
With more than 4,800 strikeouts during his career and a history of pitching into late innings, Randy Johnson should make anyone’s list of great pitchers. One of the tallest pitchers to take the mound, his reach made it seem like he was 10 feet closer to the plate. Johnson was also known for having the ability to focus intensely. He could shut out all distractions and concentrate only on the catcher’s mitt. This focus defined who Johnson was, both on and off the field.
Mo’ne Davis
Mo’ne Davis rose to international fame during the 2014 Little League World Series, when she became the first girl to pitch a shutout and then win a Little League World Series game. At 13 years of age, she threw a curveball that left hitters shaking their heads in disbelief, and her fastball reached a speed of 70 miles per hour. That’s the equivalent of a 93-mile-per-hour pitch on a full-size diamond.

Title: My kid loves it
Review: My 11 year old is obsessed with baseball. I got him this book to teach him some of the history and players that came before his time. He loves it so far. BUT the other night he was reading stats to me and told me Craig Biggio had over 3k hits and only played for 9 years. Which would be over 300 per season. Which is ridiculous. Turns out he played from 1988-2007. Not 1998-2007 like the book states. Not a big deal but this is a book of facts and stats. Just sayin.
