Overview

Going Yard includes everything anyone would want to know about home runs—from the rise of Babe Ruth, whose prodigious power revolutionized the sport in the Roaring Twenties and the most famous All-Star game and World Series round-trippers to up-close-and-personal profiles of the 500 home-run club—the men who have crashed the most homers in Major League history. Packed with statistics, photos, diagrams, and lists, this fun and fact-filled book will provide hours of entertainment and answers for any baseball fan’s round-tripper trivia questions.
