About this title

Synopsis

The Baseball Fan's Companion covers everything from the basic rules to the all-important strategies of the game - some simple and others wonderfully complex. You'll learn how a "double switch" works, the difference between a slider and a curve, the subtle methods umpires use to run and control the show, and even how keeping score in writing can greatly enhance your involvement in and enjoyment of the game. And you'll also hear about the business side of this mega-dollar sport, from free agency to no-cut contracts to the roles of GMs, owners, and the labor union.
