Book excerpt: "A wonderfully informative, exuberant, and entertaining book--part sports history, part personal history--that explores America's romance with baseball through one "perfect game" and the drama of pitching. In Off Speed, Terry McDermott weaves the fascinating story of baseball's 150-year hunt for the perfect pitch. Using the framework of a single game (9 chapters, 9 innings, 9 pitches), he explores the history of every type of pitch, combining the folk wisdom of the players with the enormous wealth of new data brought to the sport by the growing legion of statisticians who are transforming many of the sport's once sacred beliefs. As a lifelong baseball fan, McDermott approaches his subject with the love every fan brings to the park plus the expertise of an investigative journalist, exploring with irrepressible enthusiasm and curiosity both the technical side and the romance of the game"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Pitch Denton T. Young, whose marvelous no - hit and no - run game pitched for the Boston American League club during the season of 1904, followed by another no-hit and no-run game in 1908, but one player reaching first base, established him as one of the greatest men who ever placed his foot against the pitcher's plate; whose term of service has been so long that he enjoys the greatest reputation of any pitcher for continued good work in the box, is one Of the pitchers who has seldom been troubled with wildness, and his remarks upon accuracy in pitching are especially valuable. There are young players in base ball who have what might be called natural control. Before they picked up a base ball for the first time, I venture to say that they could throw stones and pebbles more accurately than their companions, even if they were not able to throw them so far. Possibly every other boy in the neighborhood could throw a green apple swifter, but it was this particular boy, with his greater accuracy, who hit the mark.

Book excerpt: Pitching in a Pinch Or Baseball from the Inside is written by the great American pitcher Christopher "Christy" Mathewson who played seventeen seasons with the New York Giants.

The topics Mathewson explore range from "The Most Dangerous Batters I Have Met" to "Coaching - Good and Bad" and even "Jinxes and What They Mean to A Ball-Player." Pitching in a Pinch Or Baseball from the Inside is an entertaining autobiography from the great pitcher Christy Mathewson. With the detail of a clear expert in his field and all the feeling that America's favorite pastime evokes, this book promises to be an exciting look at the early days of both the sport of baseball and Mathews' career.
