Officially licensed with the Hall of Fame, Out of the Park! follows the incredible careers and lives of your favorite ballplayers, from Babe Ruth to Derek Jeter. Organized by key aspects of the game, each chapter features biographical snapshots of four players who excelled in that arena--from hitting to fielding to leadership on and off the field--as well as fun facts, historical trivia, infamous quotes, important stats and baseball lingo, and photos from the Hall of Fame's collection. Some of the significant players and their historical moments include: Babe Ruth establishes a single-season home run record that will last for 34 years in 1927. Ted Williams finishes the 1941 season with an average above .400, a magical mark attained by only a few. Joe DiMaggio establishes what many argue is baseball's most "unbreakable" record--a 56-game winning streak--in 1941. Jackie Robinson and Larry Doby break the MLB color barrier in the landmark 1947 season. Derek Jeter, "Captain Clutch," plays his last game, 2014, ending in a walk-off single to win the game. Kids in the middle grades will meet over 150 players in this all-encompassing collection, your go-to reference for learning about great athletes.
