Product Description Baseball Fathers and Sons will amaze and delight baseball fans. More than fifty post 1920 Big League father?son, grandfather?father?son, and even one mother?son match?ups are described in a fast?moving way that will inform and delight baseball fans. From the Ken Griffeys, Sr. and Jr., to Barry and Bobby Bonds, to Felipe and Moises Alou, to Yogi and Dale Berra, short thumbnail sketches of featured fathers and sons bring these personalities to life. A single line of statistics about each player is included, showing at a glance how fathers and sons did in their careers, as well as in comparison to each other. Baseball Fathers and Sons is an ideal Father's Day gift for any dad who has ever played catch with his son. It is not a "statistics" book; rather, it is an entertaining work that highlights the careers of dozens of fathers and sons who have played Big League Baseball. About the Author Baseball Fathers and Sons is Jim LeBuffe's first book about baseball. Two more will soon follow: Big League Brothers, highlighting more than 50 pairs and trios of brothers who have played in the Major Leagues, and, Parallel Hitters (working title), Absey and Company, Spring, Texas, which will bring to life dozens of Major League pairs of hitters with startlingly similar hitting records.
