Spahn or Maddux? Terry or McCovey? Dont guess -- read Neyers book and learn the answers. In these pages, its production (not nostalgia) that matters, and the result is a cogent parsing of baseballs all-time greats (and worsts)." - Joshua Prager, The Wall Street Journal"Rob Neyer is one of those writers who can make his subject more interesting than anyone ever imagined it could be. He has written a delightful book for ardent baseball fans, but even people with a casual interest in baseball will find something to think about here." - Michael Lewis, author of Liars Poker and Moneyball"You will argue with some of Robs picks, and you will provoke many an argument with your baseball friends, but you will not be able to put this thought-provoking book down." - Jon Miller, ESPNs Sunday Night Baseball Long Description You love to argue about the game and its players, delving into baseball history and lore in search of support for your points of view.
