The history of, and skill behind major league home runs. From the great Babe Ruth through the home run kings of today, we learn about their statistics, the race to the top and how home runs have changed the game of baseball. Short sections put together perfectly to keep the middle school reader engaged. Great captioned photographs, side bars with more information - like the home run derby, why Coors Field has the best home run chances and who hits this biggest blasts.
The history of Babe Ruth's records, who broke them and the fans' reactions was compelling. I'm not a sports person and I found it engaging and exciting. Also includes the stats and short bios for the 25 top home run hitters, a bunch of home run records a glossary and source notes.
