Book Review: Baseball Field Guide
Summary: 5 Stars
As an aspiring sportswriter/PR individual for a baseball team, having a book such as Baseball Field Guide (An in-depth illustrated guide to the complete rules of baseball) to reference is absolutely essential. If you are in anyway like me and need to have some visual clues this book is right up your alley. The book is as simple and concise as it is precise and informative.
The book begins by giving the reader a view of the basic rules of baseball followed by and overview of teams from little league up to the pro-level. Following that is an understanding of the equipment that is used and pregame preperation. Did you know that before a game starts the umpires must prep the balls by rubbing a particular type of mud from the New Jersey shore on them; this a tradition that has dated back more than half a century?
It is with continued illustrated outline precision that Formosa and Hamburger delve further into pitching, batting, running, fielding, umpires and a myriad of other needed information concerning America's pastime.
This books is brilliantly composed!
