Baseball, America's pastime, is a sport of moments that stand the test of time. It is equally a sport of a new generation of heroes, whose exploits inspire today's young fans. This combination makes for a winning debut in.
This is no traditional almanac of mundane statistics, but rather a storyteller's journey through baseball's storied game.
