5.0 out of 5 stars
This heavily illustrated A to Z look at baseball will thrill the young, budding aficionado! PLAY BALL!!!,
This review is from: Baseball (DK Eyewitness Books) (Hardcover)
If you have a budding baseball fan in your household, this is one book that you may have difficulty passing up. This is a book where you're going to find everything you'll ever want to know about the game from its history to a close up look at the insides of a baseball. Well, perhaps that is a bit of seventh inning stretch, but you get the idea. If you've seen the earlier edition of the DK baseball book, you'll understand what you are getting into only this one has an extra bonus. You will also be getting a large dollop of clip art and a fold-out wall chart. So, what exactly will you find in this book? Batter up for a look at . . .
Base ball beginnings Birth of the pros The Babe The Major Leagues The diamond Bats and balls Baseball gloves Hats and helmets Uniforms Pitching Catching Infield and outfield Batting Baserunning Managers and coaches Hey, Blue! (Umpires) Cards and stats The minor leagues International baseball The Negro Leagues College baseball A kid's game Women in baseball Ballparks The Baseball Hall of Fame Spring training World Series history World Series heroes The home run Did you know? (Fact and trivia questions/answers) Baseball calendar/Baseball's all-time greats In the back you'll also find an index, a glossary, a list of places to visit and additional recommended websites to explore! This heavily illustrated A to Z look at baseball will thrill the young, budding aficionado. From the beginning reader to the more confident one, youngsters will find hours of enjoyment in these pages. Each section is briefly, but clearly and concisely covered. The illustrations, art reproductions, photographs of ephemera, diagrams, player pics and other instructional matter are quite generous. The set up is very busy and the individual reader can take from this book what they desire. The CD in this book has an extraordinary array of clip art from this book that can be used by the reader and enables him or her to get a real close up view of its illustrations. This book is intended for the young baseball fan, but by no means let that stop you from having an enjoyable read!
