Originally published in 1990, this survey of five extraordinary baseball players, has required no updates to stay current until 2007 when Barry Bonds broke Hank Aaron's 33-year old Major League Baseball record for most career home runs. This is an opportunity to keep our backlist timely and accurate, so we're updating the Hank Aaron section to reflect the new home run record set by Barry Bonds.

Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente, and Hank Aaron-five amazing baseball legends. From the first black man to play major-league ball to the longest hitting streak ever, these are some of the game's most inspiring stories. Find out what unforgettable feats won each player a place in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
