They struck out Babe Ruth. They hit farther than Mickey Mantle. They ran faster than Lou Brock. But history forgot their names.

Meet baseball's hidden legends: • The pitcher who won 400 games • The hitter who crushed 800+ home runs • The outfielder so fast he could turn off the light and be in bed before the room got dark • The player Willie Mays copied his style from

Until now, their stories stayed hidden.

Inside, you'll discover: • How they revolutionized baseball strategy • Why many historians call them better than Major League stars • What happened when they faced MLB's best players • How they shaped today's game • Why their story matters now more than ever

This isn't just another baseball book. This is American history you never knew. These are the greatest players you never heard of.
