This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Play the Infield and the Outfield, Vol. 5: A Practical Description and Explanation of Methods for Basemen, Shortstop and Outfielders, With Team Work as the Principal Factor in Winning Games; Each Individual Must Work in Conjunction With Fellow Players First base is unlike any of the infield positions because so many of the players on the side at bat are put out at first base. Third base is unlike the other infield positions because so few runners get there as compared with the other bases, and also for the reason that most of the fielding plays at third base are difficult. The beginner who plays second base can play it better, however, if he knows what the fellow has to do who plays first base, shortstop and third base, and that is why all this valuable information has been placed in one vol ume. In fact, it is the only up-to-date manner in which the subject can be treated intelligently. Every reader is, therefore, urged to study carefully the instructions given for other positions, whether infield or outfield, as it is the best way by which he can improve the general quality of his play in his own special position. That is not all. Playing the outfield is so closely re lated to playing the infield that a complete description has been given concerning the duties of the left fielder, the center fielder and the right fielder. Within one cover every beginner in base ball is enabled to read about all the everyday needs to play a fine, well - balanced, well thought-out game of base ball. The contents, which tell how the. Game should be played, are the result of years of experience in close contact with big league clubs. The author, Mr. John B. Foster, editor of the Spalding Guide, was taught how to play base ball by a big leaguer and has been a part of big league base ball as a critic and as an official for more than a quarter of a century. He has traveled thousands of miles with professional players and has witnessed thousands of big league. Games. For fifteen years Mr. Foster was present at the principal training camps of the major league teams, which are the best base ball schools in the world, and has followed the national game yearly from the Southern training trips to the final out in the world series. We feel sure that every boy who aspires to be a big league baseman or outfielder will find much valued instruction in this volume that will be help ful to him in his efforts to reach his goal.

Download or read book The Matheny Manifesto written by Mike Matheny and published by Crown. This book was released on 2015-02-03 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny's New York Times bestselling manifesto about what parents, coaches, and athletes get wrong about sports; what we can do better; and how sports can teach eight keys to success in sports and life. Mike Matheny was just forty-one, without professional managerial experience and looking for a next step after a successful career as a Major League catcher, when he succeeded the legendary Tony La Russa as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals in 2012. While Matheny has enjoyed immediate success, leading the Cards to the postseason four times in his first four years−a Major League record−people have noticed something else about his life, something not measured in day-to-day results. Instead, it’s based on a frankly worded letter he wrote to the parents of a Little League team he coached, a cry for change that became an Internet sensation and eventually a “manifesto.” The tough-love philosophy Matheny expressed in the letter contained his throwback beliefs that authority should be respected, discipline and hard work rewarded, spiritual faith cultivated, family made a priority, and humility considered a virtue. In The Matheny Manifesto, he builds on his original letter by first diagnosing the problem at the heart of youth sports−it starts with parents and coaches−and then by offering a hopeful path forward. Along the way, he uses stories from his small-town childhood as well as his career as a player, coach, and manager to explore eight keys to success: leadership, confidence, teamwork, faith, class, character, toughness, and humility. From “The Coach Is Always Right, Even When He’s Wrong” to “Let Your Catcher Call the Game,” Matheny’s old-school advice might not always be popular or politically correct, but it works. His entertaining and deeply inspirational book will not only resonate with parents, coaches, and athletes, it will also be a powerful reminder, from one of the most successful new managers in the game, of what sports can teach us all about winning on the field and in life.
