It has been said that the best thing about baseball is its yesterdays - and who doesn't cherish memories of afternoons in the bleachers, munching on peanuts and frankfurters, cheering the home team on to victory?In Baseball Tales award-winning photographer Terry Heffernan captures memories of a different sort. The first photographer invited into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, Mr. Heffernan has taken photos of such immortal memorabilia as the last ball thrown at Ebbets Field, Casey Stengel's scorebook, Ted Williams's home jersey, a plethora of cigarette and bubblegum cards, and bats, mitts and shoes used by all-stars like Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Babe Ruth and Roberto Clemente.Complementing the twenty-three photographs are five short stories that bring the golden age of baseball vividly to life.
