"Baseball Americana: Treasures From the Library of Congress"
(Amazon.com: http://xrl.us/BBAmer ) - This artful and overstuffed book
presents the best of baseball memorabilia, from New Deal photographs
to vintage baseball cards to classic advertisements. The book is a
yea-saying celebration of the sport, and reminds us how everything
about baseball has changed and yet nothing has. "If you took someone
from the era of President McKinley at the end of the 19th century and
put him or her in a ballpark early in the 21st century," George Will
writes in his forward, "the time traveler would feel right at home."
