ReviewsThis [book] is a great piece of history, mining the iconic, digest-size annual Who's Who in Baseball. Each cover is reproduced -- the first player on the cover was Ty Cobb, and it cost 15 cents. Babe Ruth made his first cover appearance in 1920, his first with the Yankees. And shockingly, the first African-American player to grace the cover was in 1966. And even then, Willie Mays shared the front with four other players . . . [A] fascinating artifact, with some stats and stories from every year.
