This series "Baseball Legends", published by Chelsea House Publishers, gives an insider look into the lives of the greatest baseball stars of history. Here are three of those books featuring some of the greatest players of the late 1960s and early 1970s: Brooks Robinson, Bob Gibson, and Willie Stargell. These three of the series had an introduction by Jim Murray and Earl Weaver as Senior Consultant. The CIP data states these are biographies for young people. The introduction chapter in each is. ?What Makes a Star,? by Jim Murray, member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. In it he presents what a mystery it is to figure out what makes a baseball player a star. He says, ?There are probably more players with exceptional ability who didn?t make it to the major leagues than there are who did. A number of great hitters, bored with fielding practice, had to be dropped from their team because their home run production didn?t make up for their lapses in the field. And then there are players like Brooks Robinson of the Baltimore Orioles, who made himself into a human vacuum cleaner at third base because he knew that working hard to become an expert fielder would win him a job in the big leagues.? ?The Hall of Fame is full of people who transformed themselves into great ballplayers by working at the sport, by studying the game, and making sacrifices. They?re overachievers---and winners.? These are engaging stories of three such people who focused on what they loved and became world-class heroes, surging past their varied backgrounds and circumstances that could have held them back, but did not. Hold the books in your hands as you see the photos from glimpses in their lives, through the tears and the joy. Read the words that bring to life their experiences of challenge and ultimate stardom in language anyone can understand. Experience what it?s like to overcome life?s limitations and disappointments to demand the fulfillment of the dream. It?s not anything of outside forces or gifts; it?s about what a person is made of inside. Technical details follow: All three books show little use. Square corners, almost no shelf-wear.
