The book assumes that you have been watching along and want to better understand what you're seeing; it's probably not the best book if you're preparing to watch but haven't really started yet. Good glossary, good illustrations, not enough fun trivia. (  ) upstairsgirl | Jul 6, 2009 |  A good coverage of the intricacies of baseball - especially for the parent, spouse or partner of an all-knowing fan. Avoid those long suffering explanations, look it up yourself. Zack Hample writes well and is witty enough that this is a good read even if you are only moderately interested in baseball. This book is likely better to keep around and dip into from time to time than to red straight through. ( ) Helenoel | Aug 7, 2008 | Zack Hample has a real knack here for educating, informing, and entertaining both the novice and veteran baseball fan. The mix of anecdotes, rules of the game, and the pointers to insider's baseball make for a great read - and you'll probably look with a lot more interest at your next baseball game whether live or on the tube. (  ) RobertMosher | Jul 16, 2008 | susansw | Sep 5, 2007 | About: Guide to the generalities and intricacies of the game of baseball. Pros: Very informative, funny, great use of examples. Even I learned something and I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about the sport. Cons: Would've liked to see an index. Grade: A- ( ) charlierb3 | Jul 12, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
