Few Major League Baseball teams have a history as glorious and as
interesting as the Cincinnati Reds. From the earliest days of
baseball's first professional team, skilful and colourful players
have worn the Cincinnati uniform. The greatest and most famous of
these players have attained legendary status, and in this book they
are given their due. Best-selling baseball author Mike Shannon
brings to bear his expertise on the Reds in selecting and profiling
the forty Reds who best fit the definition of "legend." From the
Wright Brothers and Edd Roush to Johnny Vander Meer and Ted
Kluszewski, from Frank Robinson and Pete Rose to Barry Larkin and
Joey Votto-athletes who by their stellar play, unique
personalities, and uncommon achievements have made themselves
unforgettable-they are all here in Cincinnati Reds Legends. Shannon
encapsulates the greatness of each player in deft vignettes that
are remarkable as much for their insight as their interest. Even
veteran Reds fans will get to know and appreciate these legends
better through the book's lively and informative text. What truly
sets this book apart is the stunning original artwork that
supplements the text. Three of today's most gifted baseball artists
provide full-color, full-page images of the forty Legends that are
invariably beautiful, arresting, and joyful to behold. Chris
Felix's exquisitely executed portraits have the dignified look and
feel of an old master, capturing the essence of his subjects. With
rigorous attention to detail, an ebullient palette, and his
unerring sense of composition, Scott Hannig dramatizes a lifelong
devotion to the Reds. The digitally created showstoppers of the
brilliant Donnie Pollard simply mesmerize the eye. Here are the
Reds' greatest players as they have never before been presented.
The talented trio of Felix, Hannig, and Pollard is a diamond act
that no self-respecting baseball fan can afford to miss. Miniature
portraits, playing statistics, and stunning paintings of Palace of
the Fans, Crosley Field, Riverfront Stadium, and Great American
Ball Park round out this beautiful book that will be treasured by
baseball fans everywhere.
