Default ERROR CHECK: 'The Baseball 100' by Joe Posnanski

I couldn't even get past the cover (well, the back cover) without finding an obvious error albeit by George Will who forwarded the book.



Quoting from the forward by George F. Will:

'Willie McCovey did something that neither Babe Ruth nor Lou Gehrig nor Barry Bonds did - hit .300, score 100 runs, drive in 100 runs, and walk 100 times in seven consecutive seasons.'


That feat was accomplished by Frank Thomas.



The book publishing business fails the game of Baseball once again.

If anyone would like to run their final drafts by me, I'll be glad to help.
