Series: I Love

This inspirational keepsake for lovers of the game of baseball will contain quotes, quips, memories, and milestones from 100 years of baseball in America. Organized in sections on the great players, the dynasties, incredible individual performances, and even the experience of going to the ballpark, it will celebrate the sport from many voices and perspectives. Quotes from great baseball writers such as Roger Angell, Red Barber, Bernard Malamud, and George Will will be included, as well as excerpts from the farewell speeches of such icons as Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. And then there are the celebrities who are devoted to baseball (and in some cases to individual teams), such as Alyssa Milano, Jay-Z, Ben Affleck, Bill Murray, Billy Crystal, Charlie Sheen, Tom Hanks, and Kevin James. As Yogi Berra once said, ""Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good, too.""

Reviews for I Love Baseball: Players, Managers, Sportswriters, and Fans Talk about Their Love for the Game

""[T]he author aptly captures the romance of baseball by exploring the many reasons why fans are attached to the sport... Every baseball fan likely remembers their first visit to a professional ballpark and the way that the atmosphere stayed with them. Stewart's book does a wonderful job of reminding readers of that sensation."" ""In a compendium that is vastly more than the collection of interviews its subtitle implies, Stewart unearths precious nuggets even seasoned fans might never have found... A surprise winner.""
