This book is designed to provide tips and information that will make the game of baseball more enjoyable for every boy or girl. Playing baseball well is a great feeling. Hitting a home run or making a diving catch gives kids a great feeling of accomplishment. However, the game is built almost more on failure than on success. Even the best hitters in the game make seven outs in every 10 at-bats. Learning how to deal with that disappointment, and not be crushed by it, is one of the keys to success. Using the drills and other ideas and suggestions in this book should help kids and their parents and coaches have a better understanding and appreciation of the game, and should make them understand even more why they got a hit or why they struck out. Players and coaches can both read this book, use the information provided and the tips and suggestions about how to make a batting tee or a batting net, then go out in the yard and practice, practice, practice. Nice introduction to the game for players and coaches.
