It’s been said that to understand baseball, you have to understand its rules. But how many of us want to read the official rules of baseball? That’s where the Baseball Field Guide by Dan Formosa and Paul Hamburger comes in.

It adds illustration and explanation to the rules of baseball – and will definitely add to your knowledge of the rules. For instance – do you know the sixteen ways a batter can be called out? The book explains each one of them in simple language. It even gives you a concise definition of the ever popular and frustrating balk.

From casual fan to professional spectator, the Baseball Field Guide will definitely enhance your appreciation and understanding of the game.
