Baseball in Action (Sports in Action) John Crossingham

Take me out to the ball game with Crabtree's new book Baseball in Action. Children will learn the rules and skills involved in playing. Lively, full-color photographs help demonstrate such basics as pitching, fouling, and bunting. Necessary equipment and safety precautions are also covered along with:

-- the layout of a baseball diamond and player positions
-- catching and throwing techniques
-- when to run and when to stay put
-- different variations of baseball from slow pitch to cricket
