Few sports have the rich history of baseball. From spring training to the autumnal World Series, baseball’s storied franchises have produced many legendary moments over 150 years of the major leagues. But it’s the riveting rivalries between the men on the diamond who are sport’s star attraction. Come with us to explore the lives and careers of baseball’s biggest hitters and flame-throwing pitchers. All the icons of the sport are here. Pioneers of the game like Shoeless Joe Jackson and Babe Ruth made baseball into a national phenomenon. Big names of the golden era like Jackie Robinson and Joe DiMaggio carried their teams to success. Don’t forget the modern-day superstars like Mike Trout and Albert Pujols who’ve maintained baseball’s popularity into the 21st century. Step up to the plate with the sluggers and pitchers who made baseball into America’s national pastime.
