Who's Who in Major League Bass Ball.

4to, textured red cloth, gilt title on top cover and spine, illustrated, 544 pp. Light rubbing to extremities, slight aging; about near fine. This was the first installment of this book, which was compiled by Harold "Speed' Johnson. It is a rich volume of baseball information from a significant year in the history of the sport. The book includes photographs of the players, and useful information about their records. Not surprisingly Babe Ruth got double page coverage, who at that time had 653 career home runs and a lifetime batting average of .354. According to Who's Who his first contract was for $600. Two-page coverage was also given to Ty Cobb, and of course the legendary Lou Gehrig. This is an incredible collector's piece from a time when baseball was really the national pastime.
