Aim for the fence with 100 of the best hitters to ever swing the bat. The Louisville Slugger(R) bat. Babe Ruth never stepped to the plate without one. Neither did Ty Cobb, Ted Williams, Tony Gwynn, or any of the other great hitters of yesterday and today. Not to mention the hometown hero that knocked one into the parking lot at last night's Little League game. This book gathers together the stories and statistics of all the great pros. Organized alphabetically, it includes a photograph of each player, plus records, cool facts, and even an occasional pop quiz. It's like the greatest all-star lineup ever!
