Description

An entertaining and illuminating inside look at Major League Baseball through the words of the players themselves.

Imagine you had the opportunity to sit down with ballplayers such as Hank Aaron, Greg Maddux, Joe Torre, and Nolan Ryan. You might ask them about their star teammates and hated opponents. You might talk about the obstacles they overcame and the strategies that led to their success. Or you might just talk about life in the majors.

In Talking Baseball with Major League Stars, Wayne Stewart provides readers with all that and more. Featuring over 45 years of interviews, Stewart details the history, tactics, and inside stories of the national pastime with unique perspectives that only the players, coaches, and managers could provide. They discuss the most difficult pitchers they faced, the unwritten rules, the game's wildest characters, cheating, intimidation, the players they most admire, racism in and around the sport, and their fears and doubts, along with candid stories never heard before.

Including exclusive insight from more than fifty Hall of Famers and countless award winners, and covering nearly one hundred different topics, Talking Baseball with Major League Stars is a fascinating behind-the-scenes journey into the world of professional baseball.
