Sensational Sports Teams series. Each of these uniform series volumes presents the history of a popular sports franchise. The team's legendary players and coaches, memorable games and championships, and stadiums and arenas are featured in the somewhat choppy texts. Many action photographs (some pixelated) accompany the standard layouts. Each book includes website screen shots, and the publisher keeps the sources current at its own site. Reading list.
