Pete Rose is baseball's "Hit King," the Major Leagues' all-time
leader in career hits. But some fans consider his off-the-field
actions a black mark on the sport. Major League Baseball's
investigations into Rose's gambling led to his lifetime banishment
from the game--which, in turn, has barred him from
otherwise--certain induction into the Hall of Fame. Rose brought to
the sport an unparalleled drive to succeed. Now, people from every
part of society debate the nature of his legacy. Baseball author
David Jordan presents an even-handed look at Rose's life, career,
and post-baseball life, and lets the reader decide for him- or
herself. It has been said that hitting a baseball is the hardest
thing in professional sports. Baseball's All-Time Greatest Hitters
presents biographies on Greenwood's selection for the 12 best
hitters in Major League history, written by some of today's best
baseball authors. These books present straightforward stories in
accessible language for the high school researcher and the general
reader alike. Each volume includes a timeline, bibliography, and
index. In addition, each volume includes a "Making of a Legend"
chapter that analyses the evolution of the player's fame and (in
some cases) infamy.
