Book Reviews of The Art of Hitting .300
Book Review: The best book about how to hit a baseball ever written.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am the author of this book, but I did not write it. Charlie did that. I was blessed with the ability to draw out Charlie's incredible wisdom and to put it into a structure and into words that everyone can understand. I came up with the concept of "The Ten Absolutes of Good Hitting," but only after I looked at what Charlie had said about all successful hitters doing the same things. (Movement in the stance, literally seeing the ball, etc.)George Brett, one of the sweetest guys you'd ever want to know, posed for many of the pictures. But there are photos and Charlie's analysis of great hitters of the past as well. (We sat in what was Billy Martin's office in the Yankee locker room at the time. I'd pass Charlie a pic of a baseball great, and he would, without a pause, detail the guy's hitting strengths and weaknesses. It was incredible.)
Put it this way: I have written over 50 books and in some circles am considered a computer and Internet/online expert. B! ut at my 25th college reunion, the only book my classmates knew of was this one.
