Baseball's who's who of what ifs : players derailed en route to Cooperstown

Summary/Review: "The greatest players in baseball history are honored in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Fans and sports journalists often lament players who might have joined the immortal ranks, if only fate-circumstances, injury, death-hadn't intervened. This book focuses on 40 well known non-inductees, such as Tony Conigliaro, Denny McLain and José Fernandez, along with many others all but lost to history, such as Ross Barnes, Charlie Ferguson and Hal Trosky. Also included are more than 100 "honorable mentions" covering all of pro baseball history, from the 1860s to the 2010s."-Provided by publisher"--
