Headquarters for history and memorabilia
Someone's done some research! (Less of a surprise when you find out the guy's related to a founder of the sport). For example, All-Star games wrap-ups are what you'd expect but also include some quotes, analysis and great historical photos. Summarizing 150 years of baseball is done well, with insights, lists and links that connect to even more details.
Expect to spend a while going through things, because the LINKS (from the Table of Contents) are each worthwhile and interesting.
The Auction option connects you to a site offering and showing expensive to very expensive baseball memorabilia. Speaking of which, "Sports Collector's Heaven" (from the home page) is pretty impressive-and thorough! Concessions leads to a few other unique gift ideas, including self-promotion items.
Appropriately, Babe Ruth commands the Spotlight. Access plenty of info on the "Sultan of Swat". Screening Room is a neat concept, but it requires Real Player and Real Video to get answers to unique questions. Finally, the Ultimate Message Board seems underused. Better luck submitting questions or comments using "Contact Us".
