Season of Triumph The Official Commemorative of the 2001 Baseball Season

In a season of records and milestones, of superstar careers at their end and superstar careers at their beginning, in a season of crowning moments, achievements and near-misses, the 2001 baseball season will be best remembered as a season of triumph. It was a season in which baseball contributed to the triumphant spirit of America, and, of course, it was a season of triumph for the World Series champion Arizona Diamondbacks. Relive the triumphs of the entire season, from April to November, in this special official commemorative book from The Sporting News. It's all here--Barry Bonds' season of 73 home runs, the Mariners' record-setting season and Ichiro mania, the retirements of Cal Ripken and Tony Gwynn, the career achievements of Rickey Henderson, the rise of new ballparks in Pittsburgh and Milwaukee and a new superstar in Albert Pujols. Special coverage of the game's ceremonies upon their return from the September 11 terrorist attacks. And, of course, special coverage of the posteason, with game-by-game accounts of the Diamondbacks' and Yankees' run through the playoffs and their scintillating seven-game World Series. More than 200 color images are in this officially licensed product of Major League Baseball.Sporting News Staff is the author of 'Season of Triumph The Official Commemorative of the 2001 Baseball Season' with ISBN 9780892046836 and ISBN 089204683X.
