Pro baseball records : a guide for every fan / by Matt Chandler.

Chandler, Matt, (author.).

Summary:

"This comprehensive look at pro baseball records covers everything from Joe DiMaggio's seemingly untouchable 56-game hitting streak to the lowly 1988 Baltimore Orioles' unmatched 21 straight losses to open a season. Among the record highs and lows, budding fans will find loads of awe-inspiring accomplishments and eye-popping numbers. And discovering baseball's record book only multiplies the fun and wonder of following the game." -- ONIX annotation.

    Gr 5–8—Breaking down each sport's stats by individuals, teams, and postseason records, this series lets readers take a gander at true athletic excellence. Each chapter begins with a story of individual achievement, followed by lists of various records. Athletes who are still active are indicated with asterisks, so readers can see who is still on the hunt for first place. Kids will see many familiar names—LeBron James and Stephen Curry feature frequently in Pro Basketball Records—and still more that they don't recognize. As per usual, Pro Hockey Records readers are going to see an abundance of Wayne Gretzky. Surprisingly, Pro Baseball Records has a ton of records from as early as the late 1800s. Sidebars interspersed throughout the lists are simple and easily digestible, so they don't detract from the data. VERDICT A quality, browsable addition for statheads.
