• With its significant treatment of non-major league players, this title treats baseball as a large-scale American phenomenon and distinguishes itself from [other books] in its coverage of many more minor and Negro League players....Entertaining and useful....Any library that wants to have a serious baseball reference section will need the Biographical Dictionary of American Sports: Baseball.
