Synopsis

Former All-Star Keith Hernandez teaches even the most learned fan a thing or two about baseball with his unparalleled insight into all aspects of the game, from the action in the bullpen to the positioning on the field to the plays at the plate.

"We have never seen the game scrutinized with such care and detail. Hernandez provides commentary on two ball games in the 1993 season : a Phillies-Braves match-up and an extra innings battle between the Tigers and the Yankees. [He] examines the overall strategies of the game and offers good analyses of fielding techniques, base stealing, lineups, umpiring etiquette, double-steal rundowns, hit-and-runs, signals, infield shifts and more. His most intense and incisive analysis, however, is saved for the psychology of the pitcher-hitter duels. No matter where you are watching, you will never again see the game in the same way." —Playboy

From AudioFile

If you've ever wondered what goes through the mind of a professional baseball player during a game, this tape is for you. Hernandez, retired fielder and batter, analyzes two of his old games. He offers insights into details that might escape the casual fan, including pitch selection, batter weaknesses and managerial strategies. Great stuff for "the advanced fan." Hernandez does a credible job reading his book. His voice is clear and firm, well suited for the subject. He maintains a conversational tone and pace. P.B.J. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
