	Baseball's Best Shots
	by DK Publishing Sales Rank: 963921	$0.83 At Amazon on 8-5-2008.

*Features* Cover Type: Paperback with 160 pages Published by: DK ADULT Edition: 1st Edition August 1, 2002 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 0789489155 ISBN 13 Number: 978-0789489159 Book Dimensions: 10.9 x 9 x 0.5 inches Weighs: 1.6 pounds *Product Review* Baseball lends itself to still photography. photographs freeze baseball's rhythm, allowing the viewer to examine details: Derek Jeter's agility as he leaps in the air to turn a double play, Ted Williams's gorgeous follow-through after connecting with another hit, the bone-jarring crunch of a collision at home plate between Ray Durham and Scott Servais. Major League Baseball's Best Shots celebrates these great moments. Some of these images offer glimpses of lost practices, such as Burleigh Grimes, last of the legal spitballers, greasing up a ball, or Joe DiMaggio "boning" his bat to compress the wood. Others allow for a comparison of styles--such as El Duque's knee-to-ear wind-up vs. Warren Spahn's straight-legged sprawl, or Hideo Nomo's twisting delivery vs. Dennis Eckersley's sidearm. Best of all, however, are the photographs of superstars at supreme moments--Rickey Henderson evading an attempted tag, Ken Griffey Jr. robbing Detroit of an obvious home run by leaping well above the fence, Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire chatting in the final week of that magical 1998 season. With a foreword by Johnny Bench (himself captured in full swing), Major League Baseball's Best Shots is a wonderful look at the history of the national pastime. --M. Stein --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. *Product Description* A new paperback edition of one of the most amazing baseball pictorials ever published. Major League Baseball offers the official word on the most compelling photographs of America's favorite game. Over 100 images reflect the power, beauty, and action of the game that has long captured the imagination of millions of fans. Players, legendary stadiums, and devoted fans are brought together in this photographic celebration of our national pastime. *Reader Reviews* This review is from: Major League Baseball's Best Shots (Hardcover) This ione is worth the bucks for that coffee table!
