Baseball is my biggest hobby! Love this book for beginners or long time baseball junkies...we can always learn something from Joe Morgan!
Rating:  - jargons to explain jargons
I had high hopes for this book after reading all the reviews. At the same time, my baseball knowledge is very limited. My biggest disappointment is that the author tried to explain baseball jargons using baseball jargons. In other words, the ideas are not explained in plain, effective language. Maybe the author is "born" to speak the language of baseball. Unfortunately for readers like myself who is trying hard to know more about the sport, the baseball jargon does not come naturally.
Rating: - Good book for really knowing baseball

And before you start saying, "that's not so bad," ... Read More
Rating: - Great book for a new fan
I got hooked watching the Boston Red Sox in the 2004 post season, but I realized that I was very ignorant about baseball. I bought this book in the spring, and it taught me an incredible amount about baseball. I now watch almost every Red Sox game and enjoy the games much more through understnnding the basics and a lot of the subtleties.
The book is written for multiple types of readers, including people who play baseball or coach. I can't judge how well the book meets the player and coach needs, ... Read More
