We have almost any piece of information available to us at the click of a button. But back in 1953, booklets like this were produced to help baseball higher ups keep track of who to watch.
One of earliest attempts of a baseball prospectus for minor leaguers is this booklet. The first name for all to see is that of Hank Aaron. Hammerin' Hank hit a gaudy .336 and smacked nine home runs for Eau Claire in '52.
Stats from the 1952 season are included. A to Z are covered in this interesting baseball collectible with stats and bios of each up and coming player. Also featured are Felix Mantilla and Eddie Mathews and many more. This is a copy of the original.
