    Looks like they only used 4 newspapers to do the 20 team books they've released, I'd imagine they're mostly AP articles or stuff reprinted from the local papers.

    If you think the Astros one is bad, the Giants book is from the LA Times.

    Most are Washington Post, Boston included. LA Times for the Cali teams, Dallas for the Texas teams, Seattle for Seattle.

    Here's the table of contents, you will be totally shocked that, outside of 2 wins over the Rangers, there are no "highlights" from between Biggio retiring in October '07 to the Stros postseason push in October '15. Guess a picture of the buttslide didn't make the papers.
