How To Master Baseball

$7.79

Over the years, I have not been content to merely theorize or guess about how baseball could be improved. I had to become an instructor, inventor, photographer, author and more. After 40 years of research and experience, I now feel confident about what I have to say. With each invention, I changed my "theories" into "facts." I invented 19 baseball apparatuses for hitting, throwing, infield, outfield, base sliding, Fast Pitch and Slow Pitch. Two of these have patents, one for hitting and the other for base sliding. I designed 27 batting tees; 6 various home bases; a pitcher’s plate; 8 sets of unique bases; plus a backstop and batting cage. This is a total of more than 60 baseball devices. They can be made at home with a plastic pipe cutter or hack saw, pliers, tape measure, screwdriver, and PVC glue. More important, you can practice by yourself and achieve total improvement. The instructions on how to use these inventions are included. WITH THESE METHODS AND INVENTIONS, A BATTER CAN ELIMINATE STRIKING OUT. This is an uncompromising and educational baseball instructional book, utilizing a step-by-step, self-taught technique of questions and answers. Q: How does the batter have Full Plate Coverage? Can you explain and prove it with a device or invention? Q: How can the batter hit the curve ball? Can you explain and prove it with a device or invention? Q: Why do I hit pop-fly balls or foul balls all the time? Can you explain and prove it? Q: In hitting Fast Pitch or Slow Pitch, at what point should the batter swing the bat to hit inside, middle, and outside pitched balls? Can you explain and prove it? Find the answers to the above, and a lot more, within the pages of this book. FROM THE WHEEL TO THE SPACE SATELLITE, INVENTORS HAVE RECEIVED RECOGNITION FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO PROGRESS. THEREFORE, LET THIS INVENTOR TEACH YOU – PLAYER, COACH OR SPECTATOR – THE ART AND SCIENCE OF AMERICAN BASEBALL.

The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract

$19.99

When Bill James published his original Historical Baseball Abstract in 1985, he produced an immediate classic, hailed by the Chicago Tribune as the "holy book of baseball." Now, baseball’s beloved "Sultan of Stats" (The Boston Globe) is back with a fully revised and updated edition for the new millennium. Like the original, The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract is really several books in one. The Game provides a century’s worth of American baseball history, told one decade at a time, with energetic facts and figures about How, Where, and by Whom the game was played. In The Players, you’ll find listings of the top 100 players at each position in the major leagues, along with James’s signature stats-based ratings method called "Win Shares," a way of quantifying individual performance and calculating the offensive and defensive contributions of catchers, pitchers, infielders, and outfielders. And there’s more: the Reference section covers Win Shares for each season and each player, and even offers a Win Share team comparison. A must-have for baseball fans and historians alike, The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract is as essential, entertaining, and enlightening as the sport itself.
