Review of
Sports Illustrated Book of Baseball,
by editors of Sports Illustrated
Four out of five stars
Basic introduction to fundamental play
This book is
written for the young male with an interest in how to effectively play
baseball. Five stars that play at various positions give their expertise in how
to do it well. Those players and their subjects are:
*) Harmon Killebrew on hitting
*) Al Downing on pitching
*) Brooks Robinson on fielding in the infield
*) Tim McCarver on the basics of catching
*) Tom Tresh on playing the outfield and running the
bases.
The tips are
all sound and to the point. Which is necessary in a book of this small size. While
in no way definitive, this is a good book to get the baseball hopeful down the
right track.
