They'll have Sugar's book for a lifetime." Yogi Berra "What Bert Sugar doesn't know about baseball, nobody knows." Bob Costas "To get a better sense of the Hall of Fame, you would have to be in Cooperstown." New York Daily News, June 7th, 2009 "Sugar comes up with a beautifully envisioned, designed and esecuted stroll through Cooperstown. Pops will love this one." USA Today.com "The legendary author takes you through the National Baseball Hall of Fame - literally - in a 272-page odyssey that will leave you feeling like you're in Cooperstown even if you've never been there. Welcome to baseball heaven. Welcome to Cooperstown, New York." Pro Baseball Central, 5/11/09 "Bert Randolph Sugar is THE sports historian of our time and he has a new book out that is a comprehensive look at the Baseball Hall of Fame called Bert Sugar's Baseball Hall of Fame, A Living History of America's Greatest Game. I have been to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY, four times and each time I've been there I've seen an exhibit or artifact I've missed in my previous trip and now with this outstanding book that is full of great pictures and of course the writing of Bert Sugar, it puts all the awe and beauty of the HOF in your hands. Juiced Sports Blog, 5/20/09 "Bert Sugar's Baseball Hall of Fame: A Living History of America's Greatest Game is more than just a book. It's an addiction, a twenty first century marvel, a book so perfect, it's hard to say what's more impressive, the top notch writing or the first class photography. Its attention to detail is so impressive, that the only thing missing is some Yankee Stadium dirt, or a little wooden splinter from one of Reggie Jackson's bats. Never have I seen a baseball book that achieves perfection- but Sugar and photographer Bruce Curtis' compilation is almost as magnificent as the place they strive to document."
