From the publisher:

Welcome to "BASEBALL 100," a 128-page lavishly illustrated hardcover book that will both entertain and add fuel to one of baseball's most enduring controversies.

Artist Mark Chiarello and writer Nel Yomtov have teamed up to join the ultimate baseball debate: Who are the greatest 100 players in hardball history? Who holds the number one spot? Is it Babe Ruth? Willie Mays? Ty Cobb? How do baseball's greatest pitchers rank? Walter Johnson or Randy Johnson? Koufax or Kershaw? "BASEBALL 100" settles the argument, ranking the top 100 players--in order!

Each page features an evocative, full-color illustration of a legendary player, one of those among the very best to ever play our national pastime. An insightful bio highlighting the ballplayer's major achievements and place in baseball history accompanies each illustration. Major league legends share the spotlight with the great Negro Leaguers, as well as players from the steroid era, "banned-for-life" ballplayers, and current superstars.

Choosing the top 100 players in baseball history was no easy task. As an added bonus, "BASEBALL 100"includes a special section devoted to the players who just missed the cut . . . the next 25 greatest ballplayers.
