Baseball Explained

After trying unsuccessfully to explain baseball to his English cousins in a few emails, Phillip Mahony searched for a book that would explain the rules and history of baseball in a clear and concise manner. Having no luck locating such a book, he wrote one himself. He begins by describing basic ideas like the appearance of the field, the format of the game, and the lineup, that can be considered preliminaries to understanding the game. He then goes into greater detail, covering the objectives for the offensive and defensive teams and different strategies. Having explained the actual game he then goes on to explore the different statistics used in baseball and the way that teams use these statistics to advise strategy. He concludes with an overview of the history of Major League Baseball. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
