"One of the best hitters in pro baseball today is David Ortiz. Who was once teammates with Torii Hunter with the Twins. Who was once teammates with Mike Trout with the Angels. Who was the All-Star teammate of Derek Jeter. Who won American League Rookie of the Year as a shortstop, as did Cal Ripken of the Orioles. Who broke the consecutive games played record of Lou Gehrig. Who was a Yankees teammate of the most famous home run hitter of all time, Babe Ruth. It seems the stars of today are more closely connected to each other and to the pioneers of the game than you might think"--From the publisher's web site.
