One of my favorite exercises is pick the greatest players of all time at each position. Robert Kuenster's marvelous book has made that exercise a lot easier. . .or harder.

Robert Kuenster's marvelous book has made that exercise a lot easier. . .or harder. He gave me a lot more to think about." --Tim Kurkjian, ESPN's Baseball Tonight "Robert Kuenster's Baseball's Top 10: Ranking the best Major League Players by Position is about what it is to be a baseball fan. He rates the top players by positions, re-opening the debates we all have had: Mays vs. Cobb vs. Joe D vs. Mantle in center, or Gehrig vs. Foxx vs. Pujols at first, Williams vs. Musial in left, which opens the audience to modern era questions about Barry Bonds or Manny Ramirez. A lot of fun, a lot to think on, a lot of great players we were fortunate to watch." --Peter Gammons, three-time National Sportswriter of the Year and Hall of Fame baseball columnist, Robert Kuenster's Baseball's Top 10: Ranking the best Major League Players by Position is about what it is to be a baseball fan.

    Very responsive and honest. Accurate description, disclosed and posted flaws of flaws in the slipcase, unlike some sellers who post false and misleading descriptions. Responded to my offer within an hour, even though I sent it at 9 pm. The books were packed carefully in bubble wrap, packing material and a sturdy box, and arrived in two days. Based on this experience, I would highly recommend this seller when purchasing collectible books.
