Baseball's All-Time Greatest Hitters

Imprint: Greenwood Press

Let the debates begin: This new series presents biographies of the twelve best hitters in the history of Major League Baseball, as selected by Greenwood's Editorial Board.

Authored by some of today's top baseball writers, each thoroughly-researched biography is concise yet sophisticated.

Each substantial volume will serve as both high school and college student research resources or simply as "pleasure reading" for public library patrons.

Volumes provide considerably more information than do young-adult biographies, but are much more accessible to students than longer, mainstream tomes.

Each volume discusses the player's youth and development, early playing career, rise to stardom, and post-baseball life.

Each volume includes a final chapter that assesses the building of the player's legend and examines significant related books, film, etc.

A series foreword carefully explains reasons for each player's selection to series.

Photos, a timeline, and a bibliography enhance and round out each volume.
