Might want to add a trash can for the update.

A History of Baseball in 100 Objects, A tour through the Bats, Balls, Uniforms, Awards, Documents and other artifacts that tell the story of the National Pastime by Josh Leventhal; 2015; $29.95; 495 pages; Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, New York, NY; 978-1-57912-991-0; purchased from Multnomah County Library's Title Wave Used Bookstore; 3/30/2020-4/3/2020

The book begins in the 1300's and concludes with the World Baseball Classic Trophy from 2013.  I was disappointed not to see much pertaining to Tony Gwynn in the book.  It is an interesting read if you love baseball.  All kinds of things from the first catchers match, to All Star and World Series Programs, to syringes and Barry Bonds batting helmet from when he #756.  I think it should also have included Bruce Bochy's size 8 batting helmet.  

10/10
