Book Description
"Induction into the Hall of Fame is the greatest accolade a baseball player can receive. Of the thousands of big-leaguers who have suited up since 1869, only about two percent of them have made it to the hallowed halls. Babe Ruth, Buck Leonard, Nolan Ryan, and Martin Dihigo are among the legends -- and lesser-knowns -- who have been voted in. Cooperstown: Hall of Fame Players profiles the great players, managers, and contributors who have been enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Captivating stories and photographs -- as well as photos of plaques and memorabilla -- bring the Cooperstown experience to life." --P. [4] of cover.
