Description
"In It's Outta Here! veteran sports writer Bill Gutman not only chronicles the evolution of the home run, but also describes what constitutes a "hitter's" ball park, explains how the baseball itself has evolved over the years (addressing the issue of whether or not it has been "juiced" to travel farther), and finally, takes on the controversial allegation that sluggers in recent years have been using performance-enhancing drugs to achieve their records. If Bonds does break Aaron's record, the feat will surely trigger questions as to its legitimacy. Questions have already arisen about the home run barrage that began in 1998.
Description
Beyond these issues, though, Gutman dramatizes record-breaking performances and provides team and individual records from baseball's rich history."--Jacket.
