Many Things I Didn't Know About Baseball

A very interesting look at the history of baseball in America. The good, bad and ugly of baseball highlights and scandals. I particularly like the part about Jackie Robinson, the first black player in major league baseball and his tremendous baseball playing showed that black players were at least as good at baseball as the white players. I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone interested the history of baseball.
