WHO ARE THE GREATEST BASEBALL PLAYERS?
This fascinating book covers every era of baseball, position by position, and answers the question: Which players really belong in the Hall of Fame?
Using eight simple criteria to determine the level of dominance each player exhibited during his career, baseball superexpert Robert Cohen defines the qualities a true Hall of Fame player should possess. Cohen solves -- or fuels -- the debate on who belongs in the Hall of Fame, and who doesn't. He also discusses the careers of the best players not elected to the Hall of Fame and the circumstances surrounding the greatest injustices in the selection process.
Every great player is examined, not only in relation to the era in which he played, but against all the Hall-worthy stars who ever manned the position.

Prepare to be entertained, educated, and shocked as Cohen lays out the hard facts and truths. This book is a must-read for every baseball fan
