Book Synopsis

The typical baseball fan yearns for one of two things: a strikeout or a home run.

But most of the game takes place in between these electrifying moments, and this book discusses the importance of small ball to baseball. It examines the multitude of times small ball activities have secured victories through aggressive base running, sacrifice hits, squeeze bunts, stolen bases, productive outs and hit-and-run plays, as well as games in which aggressive small ball activity led to defeat. The book covers the most important small ball players, managers and teams.
