wfzimmerman's review

I don't usually read books about baseball, but this is a pretty good one. I enjoyed learning why there are no left-handed catchers ...

Come on, dude. If you're going to publish a book on this subject, at least take the time to make sure it doesn't read like stereo instructions. ( )

I found the analysis about why there are no left-throwing catchers to be interesting.

I didn't even realize that there were no left-throwing catchers.

The reason for this is:

1) A left-handers throwing motion would be hurt throwing to first

2) Between the outfielders and first-base there's enough places to put left-handers

3) If a guy has a strong arm when he's younger (which is necessary for a catcher), then he's probably going to be a pitcher. ( )
