I was interested in reading about team strategy - batting lineups, pitchers, etc. but this book, while very informative on some things, didn't really cover what I wanted. Lots of instruction on actual play - proper pitching and hitting technique, for example and plenty on the rules of the game.
I love this book. I started following baseball a couple years ago and this book answered almost all of my questions.
