With Final Innings Dean Sullivan concludes his four-volume documentary history of baseball, whose three earlier volumes have been called "a broad array of illuminating and often unexpected materials" (Sports Collectors Digest), "an invaluable reference tool" (Newark Star-Ledger), and a "fascinating collection" (Washington Post), in which "ancient myths are shattered and new facts are uncovered" (USA Today Baseball Weekly). Culling the most pertinent, newsworthy, and just plain curious stories from newspapers and periodicals, and putting each into context, Sullivan constructs an informative and entertaining account of Major League baseball from 1972 through 2008. The 105 essays cover key topics such as George Steinbrenner's purchase of the Yankees, the first free-agent draft, the coming of lights to Wrigley Field, the cancellation of the World Series in 1994, and the BALCO steroid probe. They also bring to light lesser-known gems like the rise of sabermetrics and the federal injunction against team owners in 1995. Offering a you-are-there view of the events that made baseball into the game we know today, this book gives readers a chance to go back and experience baseball's recent history as it happened and was reported by many of the game's finest writers and most prominent voices.

High quality
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I was amazed at how affordable this was for such a high quality book. The layout is spaced out beautifully so the pages don't look cluttered, and the large text is crisp and dark. The cover and pages feel very premium. A great investment into my spiritual life.

Transformative
Format: Paperback
I rarely write reviews, but this book truly deserves it. From the moment I started reading, I realized this was not just another edition of scripture—it felt like stepping into a deeper, more complete spiritual library. The inclusion of texts like Enoch and Jubilees adds layers of meaning that are often missing from more familiar versions. I found myself pausing often to reflect because the content is so rich and thought-provoking. The large print is an absolute blessing. I spend a lot of time reading each day, and this format has significantly reduced eye strain. It allows me to fully immerse myself without discomfort, which is something I didn’t realize I needed until I experienced it. What I appreciate most is how this book bridges curiosity and faith. It invites you to explore, question, and learn while still feeling grounded. Whether you’re a long-time student of scripture or just beginning your journey, this edition offers something meaningful. It has quickly become one of the most important books in my personal library.
