Indispensible!

The plot is lousy but the cast of characters is tremendous! This is the standard reference work used by announcers for those endless trivia games they play with each other and the audience while filling the time taken up by intentional walks and visits to the mound. The Sporting News has sponsored this book for the past umpteen years--I have kept every copy I bought right next to my TV chair for easy reference during the season. Great for finding past players without searching through the hardbound, 5-pound encyclopedia. My copies are well-thumbed.

A very thorough book.

For stat lovers, this is a must. Gives stats on all players plus prospects. Also year end league leading stats. They could improve on a few things - like showing a players slugging average and on-base average, which are much more important than showing how many times a guy turned a double play in the minors.
