MIKE's MLB Favorites (MIKE's Sports Comic Books Book 2)

0/5 ( ratings)

Volume 2 of the MIKE Sports Comic Book Series focuses on my personal picks for all-time MLB Favorites.

This book transports readers through the Fall Classic months of October and even November. It also brings them back to admire baseball legends from a lifetime ago.

My baseball favorites include one incredible team from nearly a century ago and a baseball landmark that has wooed fans and players for over 100 years.

This book includes eight famous big leaguers. Six are already in the Hall of Fame and one will be there when he retires. My last choice is someone many believe should be inducted because of his record breaking career and all out hustle whenever he took the field.

Each of my player picks has positively impacted baseball for their accomplishments on the field. Only one is still active on an MLB roster.

You’ll recall a colorful catcher who stopped everything behind the plate and hit everything thrown to him in front of it.

You’ll also read about the tiniest player to ever play the game of baseball. He dominated the sport with speed and a unique ability to hit pitches whenever - and wherever - he wanted.

All are worthy of being recognized by a unique, but immediately recognizable, nickname plus a clever comic illustration.

One of my choices, a dominating, machine-like team, is a perennial fan favorite. Plus, we’ll celebrate a famous piece of Boston baseball real estate that is one of the most revered and recognized icons in all of sports.

Each of my MLB Favorites includes a special sports comic that captures the nickname of the player, team and that famous left field wall.

In addition to the comics, I include a little history in each chapter about my selection. I explain why I believe my choice belongs in MLB Favorites.

If you don’t see your favorite here, I want to hear from you. Email me at [email protected].

Straight talk. No static.

MIKE – thee ultimate talking head on sports!
