From Babe Ruth to Alex Rodriguez, Oscar Robertson to LeBron James, John Unitas to Tom Brady, this collection provides information about celebrated players. Anecdotes include "the Curse of the Bambino" and Terry Bradshaw's "most famous pass in NFL history." Though the information is selective, the volumes' glossy action photos, concise statistics, and accessible writing style may appeal to reluctant-reader sports fans. Reading list, websites.
