Baseball explained June 27, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have attended minor league baseball for 15 years. It is amazing what I didn't know.
Field dimensions alone worth it November 21, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The illustrations in this book are excellent. The visual layouts of all the major league fields alone is worth the price of admission. All of the visulas are excellent. Makes the book enjoyable to peruse even if you know the rule. The book is smart enough to know the difference between the official and actual strike zone too.
Beautifully designed and full of info November 9, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is full of interesting information for beginners and long-time fans. But what makes it especially appealing to read is the design and the layout of the book. It's beautifully done. I've given away many copies to serious fans.
