You get the scoop on everything from types of pitches and catchers' signs to player superstitions and the origins of baseball traditions. The book is a great beginner's guide or refresher course. Even well-heeled fans are bound to learn a few things. ( ) This is a breezy, accessible and often humorous survey of the various positions, strategies, and structure of Major League Baseball. It comes with a very useful glossary that runs the gamut of baseball terms and lingo from a to z. Even a serious fan of the game will find things here that surprise and enlighten. But it should be a fun read even for those (relatively) new to the game. You’ll read it, and then you’ll want to recommend it to a friend. As do I. I read it from cover to cover, and it is thoroughly enjoyable--if you have an interest in baseball and already know something about the game. I read this book after my first full season of watching baseball games, and I still found it challenging. It can get pretty detailed when it comes to the description of plays, and you need to know your baseball ABC's really well if you don't want to get lost. I have decided to use it as a reference book, reading one section at a time to learn about specific parts of the game. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
This smart and funny fan's guide to baseball explains the ins and outs of pitching, hitting, running, and fielding, while offering insider trivia and anecdotes that will appeal to anyone-whether you're a major league couch potato, lifelong season ticket-holder, or a beginner. What is the difference between a slider and a curveball? At which stadium did "The Wave" first make an appearance? How do some hitters use iPods to improve their skills? Which positions are never played by lefties? Why do some players urinate on their hands? Combining the narrative voice and attitude of Michael Lewis with the compulsive brilliance of Schott's Miscellany, Watching Baseball Smarter will increase your understanding and enjoyment of the sport-no matter what your level of expertise.
