Good indexing and graphics clear up the confusion most fans have about balks, interference, and other fine points of the game. A must for the serious fan. Rating - Baseball explained I have attended minor league baseball for 15 years. It is amazing what I didn't know. Rating - Field dimensions alone worth it 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. Rating - Beautifully designed and full of info 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. Rating - Love it I love baseball and this answers all the questions I've ever had. Read this cover to cover and you can not only sound smart about baseball but be smart :) see more reviews See all books by author Dan Formosa, Paul Hamburger
