Book Description
Since the first pitch was thrown, MLB has tracked the performance of every team and player, documented every hit and measured every home run.

The Major League Baseball Ultimate Book of Records catalogs the game's most remarkable achievements, as well as some of the less traditional and quirky stats that all play a part in the game. MLB's team of in-house writers, researchers and historians have scoured the history of the game and written the most accurate, complete and definitive record of baseball stats and achievements. Major League Baseball Ultimate Book of Records documents the absolute best of the best and packs each achievement into this lavishly illustrated book where fans will be treated to never-before-seen photographs of their favourite players. Double-page spreads will show Henderson racing to second base to claim the stolen base record, while another full color spread celebrates Bond's crushing hit that set a new threshold for most home-runs. All the records are here, each with an account of events and spectacular photographs that make this truly the most spectacular baseball book ever published.

Book Description
On May 1, 1920, the Boston Braves and Brooklyn Robins battled to a 1-1 tie--after 26 innings, the longest major league game ever. While the Braves-Robins game featured impeccable pitching and fielding, the same cannot be said of the Kansas City Athletics game against the Chicago White Sox on April 22, 1959. On that day, the Chisox scored 11 runs in the seventh inning on only one base hit. These historic games and 246 others are fully covered in this unique reference work. Through meticulous research the author has unearthed many heretofore unknown baseball records and has corrected many others that have been erroneously reported for decades. For each game, there is a narrative that details the records and the personalities behind them, along with a comprehensive boxscore and photos of the game's hero or goat. Many entries also include tables and charts, as well as contemporary newspaper cartoons or artwork. Fully indexed.
