In this one-of-a-kind new book, 35 baseball stars and celebrities -- from Cal Ripken and Nolan Ryan to Kevin Costner and George H.W. Bush -- bring some of baseball's most thrilling moments to life.

Read about the first time Ernie Banks said "Let's Play Two!" from Mr. Cub himself. From Reggie Jackson's October heroics to Ozzie Smith 's first back flip, from Christy Mathewson's memories of poor Fred Merkle to Terry Francona managing Michael Jordan, relive baseball's most magical moments through the memories of those who were there.

"Alan shares the stories behind the stories that make this game so great. I learned something every time I turned a page. What a treat!"
