Synopsis

Possibly the best book ever written on baseball for beginners. The book chronicles the author’s self-proclaimed "apostleship of baseball" in a way that assumes no previous knowledge and doesn’t overload the reader with rules or ideas that rarely come up in the course of a game. Despite the book’s title, "Baseball for Rookies" was written with both seasoned veterans and those new to the game in mind.

It’s rich in classic moments and funny stories even diehard fans might not know about the game’s legendary players. It serves up a feast of statistics and explains not just what individual player stats are, but also how to interpret them to better enjoy the game. The book also explains curiosities such as differences between the National League and the American League. Given time, "Baseball for Rookies" might just become as American as apple pie …
