NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Winner of the CASEY Award for Best Baseball Book of the Year An instant sports classic. —New York Post Stellar. —The Wall Street Journal A true masterwork. . . 880 pages of sheer baseball bliss. —BookPage (starred review) This is a remarkable achievement. —Publishers Weekly (starred review) A magnum opus from acclaimed baseball writer Joe Posnanski, The Baseball 100 is an audacious, singular, and masterly book that took a lifetime to write. The entire story of baseball rings through a countdown of the 100 greatest players in history, with a foreword by George Will. Longer than Moby-Dick and nearly as ambitious, The Baseball 100 is a one-of-a-kind work by award-winning sportswriter and lifelong student of the game Joe Posnanski. In the book's introduction, Pulitzer Prize–winning commentator George F. Will marvels, Posnanski must already have lived more than two hundred years. How else could he have acquired such a stock of illuminating facts and entertaining stories about the rich history of this endlessly fascinating sport? Baseball's legends come alive in these pages, which are not merely rankings but vibrant profiles of the game's all-time greats.
