America at Bat from 1900 to Today: With 19 Activities

For Kids series

By Richard Panchyk

This fascinating and unique journey through the modern history of baseball, America’s favorite pastime, reveals how the game has changed over the years. Readers will enjoy firsthand quotes and stories from more than 175 former major league players and an up-close look at the game’s greatest legends from Babe Ruth, Satchel Paige, and Ted Williams to Jackie Robinson, Mickey Mantle, and Willie Mays. The text includes activities, a time line, online resources, and reading list for further study. 160 pages

"Panchyk relates the history of what is often referred to as America's great pastime in an entertaining and engaging manner. This author does a superb job of condensing more than 100 years of the sport into a fascinating and readable text. Interwoven throughout are 19 baseball-related activities that will inspire or reinforce a love and knowledge of the game..." -School Library Journal (Grades 5-8)

"With his personal passion for baseball as impetus, Panchyk gives a general overview and then delves into the history of professional baseball from 1901 to the present. The real strength of the book lies in the extensive (more than 500) personal interviews with former major league players and managers." -Booklist (Grades 5-8)
