Review: This book really blew me away, AT LAST a fan friendly book, one that actually speaks to you. This has been so far the most valuable purchase on THE best sport in the WORLD! I knew some of the general basic stuff but this book has really boosted my knowledge of baseball, covering everything from stratigic baserunning, to scoring, learning game slang and also other little things you wouldn't know about the sport. By far the best baseball book i have read, even the baseball for dummies (which can sometimes be a bit 'empty' in content and occasionally be a bit 'dence'. Wether your a new comer, casual follower or someone teaching their kids. However if you have been watching the 'big game' for years, i probably wouldn't go out straight away and buy it as you'd probably only get 5 or 6 pages tops out of this book. Great as a gift for that baseball fan in your family, or even a curious person who has stumbled across the 5 Live Sports Extra coverage, even have seen a game at their local diamond this is the book for you. Get the word out, this is the best sport in the world! Informative: 10/10 Useful 10/10 Bang for buck (worth it's money) 10/10 Author: 10/10 Fun: 8/10 Illustrations: 5/10

Review: For a total baseball beginner like me, this book was ideal for learning about how the sport works, smatterings of history of the sport and bundles of statistical and technical analysis. If you want to start watching some games, this book will give you a fantastic starting point.
