Sorry, but a true baseball fan would know the names and a really true follower of a certain team such as Stan Musiial's team would probably even have memorized his stats.
I am not too sure this book would be an interesting read for me if it is more about the man himself, rather than his exploits on the field. However, it could be interesting for someone who is interested in the man.
