All aspects of baseball—hitting, pitching, and baserunning—are affected by the Code, a set of unwritten rules that governs the Major League game. Some of these rules are openly discussed (don’t steal a base with a big lead late in the game), while others are known only to a minority of players (don’t cross between the catcher and the pitcher on the way to the batter’s box). In \u003ci\u003eThe Baseball Codes\u003c\/i\u003e, old-timers and all-time greats share their insights into the game’s most hallowed—and least known—traditions. For the learned and the casual baseball fan alike, the result is illuminating and thoroughly entertaining. \u003cbr\u003e  \u0026lt;","brand":"Random House USA Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49401592447319,"sku":"9780307278623","price":14.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780307278623.jpg?v=1730477913","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-baseball-codes-9780307278623","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
