For baseball addicts, the sport is more than just a game: it’s a ritual, a form of self-definition, even a part of nature. After all, there’s no clearer sign that winter’s ending than seeing the boys of summer return to spring training. Baseball: The Players, The World Series, The Records celebrates that passion. Uniquely designed to look and feel like an actual baseball, it covers the entire history of our national pastime, with background on all 30 major league teams and stats, facts, player profiles, and every playoff winner and loser since before the first World Series. With stories of and about the game, including classics like Ring Lardner’s Horseshoes, and quotes from the sport’s giants sprinkled throughout, it’s perfect for rookie fans and veterans alike.

Golfers will agree: This fun gift book is almost as good as a hole in one!

If golfers had their choice, they’d be on the course every single day, on the green or working the fairway. Since that’s not always possible, this uniquely designed and funfilled collection is a great alternative for those times when you just can’t play a round. Not only will it delight golfers with hundreds of quotes, humorous notes, and infamous stories about the game, but this book even feels and looks like the dimpled ball they’re longing to hit. That’s right: it’s stamped and covered with material that has the same look and feel as a high-impact, white-encased golf ball. What a super gift for every fan!

Golf launches a brand-new series of quotation compilations. Coming up to the plate next season: Baseball: The Players, The World Series, The Records.
