September 05, 2009: The book did not have pictures or stories about two recently-installed statutes of Ted Williams and Babe Ruth, or that in front of the museum is a scoreborad which reports the results of every game played the previous day. He also did not discuss the research section, which I visited, or the employees who are extremely helpful and knowledgable. Also, it would have been of benefit to those visiting the town to have his views about this very quaint and interesting place, which, by the way, has excellent restaurants. Overall, a worthwhile purchase and keeper for my library or for a gift to baseball fanatics.

He keeps it by his reading chair, and says it also makes a good cocktailtable book for guests to read.As a well informed sports enthusiast, I believe he would recommend it to any sports lover.
