Who got game? : Baseball : amazing but true stories! / by Derrick Barnes ; illustrated by John John Bajet.

Discover unforgettable moments like the time a 17-year-old girl named Jackie Mitchell struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. Marvel at records: Did you know that Japanese superstar Sadaharu Oh has a whopping 113 more career homers than Hank Aaron? And that's just for starters! This lively, illustrated collection of shiny nuggets of baseball lore will transform you into a superfan who knows the game better than anyone else. Someone who's got game." -- back cover
