Baseball. America's pastime. Over 100 years of incredible plays, impossible achievements, stunning victories and heroes to aspire towards.

While diving into this collection, you will meet and read the stories of 15 of the game's greatest players, past and present. Learn how they overcame the adversity and challenges that come in pursuing a Major League Baseball career and discover the various ways these big leaguers have chosen to give back.

The goal of this volume is to reach young players and fans and help them see how hard work and dedication to their craft make for not only great players, but great teammates as well.
