More Then just rules
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Ever wonder how each rule got to be in existence? Glenn Waggoner explains that and more in this book. Glenn Waggoner states why baseball rules came to be and how they make this the greatest game there is. He also gives examples of stuff occuring for some of the more unique rules. I would say any baseball fan needs to have this book in their library.
An excellent history of the rules of the game
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is a "must-have" for anyone who loves the game. It not only explains the rules in detail, it often gives the history of the rules as well. The authors clearly did their research in the writing of this book. It is full of baseball anecdotes that are both informative and educational about the history of our national pastime. A truly enjoyable book. I highly recommend it.
