内容説明
This is a forgotten classic from the Golden Age of baseball, with tips, advice, and priceless anecdotes from the immortal Joltin' Joe. Even people who don't give a hoot about baseball know of Joe DiMaggio, a true American icon. Arguably the greatest hitter of all time - his consecutive-game hitting record of 56, set in 1941, stands to this day - he was also one of the best and most graceful center fielders in baseball history. He led the Yankees to nine World Series titles and, at the height of his career, was the most popular man in America. What few people know or remember, however, is that Joe DiMaggio also wrote (and McGraw-Hill published in 1948) a paean to the game titled "Baseball for Everyone". We are pleased to offer again this long-forgotten treasure for baseball fans everywhere. "Baseball for Everyone" is a leisurely tour through the nuances of the game as played at all levels from sandlot to the big leagues. For aspiring young players and rabid fans alike, it provides the insight and higher understanding that only a player at the top of the game could offer.
It explores the finer points of playing each position, lingers on the pitcher's craft, and dwells on the psychology as well as the mechanics of hitting. In addition to DiMaggio's timeless advice and insights on all aspects of the game, there are colorful stories and action photos of many players now enshrined in baseball's Hall of Fame, including Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Lou Gehrig. There is also a special chapter featuring "How to Score" by the late Red Barber, the voice of baseball for millions of Americans for nearly half a century. Written with the "boy's-own-book" innocence that characterized much of the writing of its day, "Baseball for Everyone" is a charming tribute to America's game, a wonderful piece of Americana, and a treasury of baseball history and lore. It eloquently underlines how much in baseball is timeless, but also what has changed.
