The Best (and Worst) of Baseball's Modern Era by French Equatorial Africa PDF Summary

Book Description: Baseball entered its Modern Era in 1961, the first season that featured expansion teams, a 162-game schedule, and coast-to-coast play in both leagues. The Best (and Worst) of Baseball's Modern Era by G. Scott Thomas offers 221 lists of the top (and bottom) teams and players from 1961 through 2016, accompanied by a detailed breakdown of all 56 seasons. Which team was the best to take the field during the Modern Era? Who was the most difficult batter to strike out? Who was the period's best second baseman? Who enjoyed the greatest single game at the plate? Which game featured the worst pitching? The rankings come in relentless order, page after page, all backed with cutting-edge statistical analysis. (The answers, should you be curious, are the 1984 Detroit Tigers, Tony Gwynn, Joe Morgan, Shawn Green, and Phillies vs. Cubs on May 17, 1979.) The Best (and Worst) of Baseball's Modern Era is the new record book for today's game. It's chock-full of statistics and rankings that will settle old arguments - and start new ones.
