Who is the better pure hitter, Ted Williams or Miguel Cabrera? Who was better at tearing up the basepaths, Rickey Henderson or Ty Cobb? Does Clayton Kershaw compare to the strikeout king, Nolan Ryan? See how the players match up in this side-by-side look at baseball’s stars. Produced in partnership with SPORTS ILLSUTRATED KIDS.

Some are old-timers and some are contemporary players, but for kids who love baseball, these are all players they have heard about. . . .Matt Chandler has been a newspaper writer for a number of years and it shows here. He has done good research and put together a book that will find a good audience with young sports fans." - San Francisco Book Review
