Baseball: Then to WOW! shows readers how baseball has evolved from the
early days of the 1920s to the game it is today. Using MLB action
photographs, illustrations, stories, and trivia, the book is a journey
through time both for baseball fans and those new to the game. Kids will
learn how basic equipment has changed from fingerless gloves to
specially tailored leather-bound mitts and how the evolution of game
strategy has transformed the sport, players, and equipment. Players
throughout history are stacked up against each other in every position
so fans can dream up the perfect fantasy team with Babe Ruth playing
alongside Hank Aaron and Reggie Jackson. A fun-filled section of the
book explores everything fan culture-from the perfect ballpark frank to
the importance of baseball cards and video games in popularizing the
sport.
