Baseball's Offensive Greats of the Deadball Era

Ty Cobb, Nap Lajoie, and Honus Wagner were among the greatest hitters who ever played major league baseball. This book employs a statistical analysis of 'production per at-bat' to compare 120 top batters by position over a 19-year period when contact, speed and hit-and-run strategy were more valuable than power and home runs.
