Getting your player ready...
In the history of sports megabooks, there has been a 75-pounder about Muhammad Ali, a celebration of Pele that weighed 35 pounds and a history of the Super Bowl that tipped the scales at 85 pounds. To coincide with Tuesday’s All-Star Game, Major League Baseball entered the market with a 75-pound, $3,000 tome that traces the game’s history through 110,000 words and more than 1,000 photographs and illustrations. The leather-bound book, “The Official Major League Baseball Opus,” will come out in a limited edition (1,000 copies). The huge volume is aimed at teams, corporations, wealthy fans, museums and collectors.
