If you know the difference between a sinker, a curveball, a slider, and a change-up, this book may not be for you. But if you're one of us who love baseball because it's "poetic," as sports go, then your enjoyment of the game will increase dramatically under Zack Hample's guidance. Watching Baseball Smarter includes chapters on the basics, pitching and catching, base running, fielding, stadiums, umpires, and statistics. There's even a chapter endearingly titled "Random Stuff to Know." A glossary helps define all sorts of tricky terms. You'll end up being impressed with your own knowledge!
