5.0 out of 5 stars sound advice from a mentor to his apprentices, March 7, 2000

By	Lawrence Wood "Larry Wood" (Bowmanville, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been coaching 16-17 year old boys in baseball for the past 15 years and I've been a devoted baseball junkie for about 43 years. One thing I've learned is that books of instruction from people who are career coaches, as opposed to thoroughbred athletes, are simply the best. Bob Cluck, now a scout for the Montreal Expos and owner of the San Diego School of Baseball, has assembled a book that is superbly adapted to the needs of youth coaches and players. The content is in the public domain and it is correct. I particularly admire his advice on throwing the curveball. Baseball isn't rocket science; some authors make it appear to be so. Bob's book is easy to understand. Well worth the cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellant book,not overly technical,just enough., May 4, 1999

By A Customer

the book deals with just the right amount of information without getting needlessly overly technical.When i've seen other books that overstate the technicalities of hitting and pitching,i feel it becomes counter productive.There's only so much that goes into to hitting and pitching,its not rocket scientry.My thanks to bob cluck.i would also suggest ;ted williams,science of hitting,more technical though.
