Résumé du livre
Fascinating, informative, good old American fun - Spitters, Beanballs, and the Incredible Shrinking Strike Zone illuminates rule by rule the dry-as-toast Official Rules of Baseball with ancedotes of the sport's most legendary figures, outrageous ballpark antics, and more vital statistics than Albert Belle can shake a corked bat at. If you've ever wondered how Fred "Bonehead" Merkle got such an unflattering moniker or why Mark McGwire's official sixty-sixth homerun of his 1998 record-setting season was actually his sixty-seventh - this book will provide you with all the entertaining facts, history, and lore of our national pastime.
