Sinopsis

George F. Will famously once said, “Nothing about baseball is trivial.” This book is a celebration of the "non-triviality" of America's Pastime. It is a concise guidebook—an A-to-Z collection of more than 380 baseball-related topics in an easy-to-use chapter format. Using clear explanations liberally sprinkled with humor, the author helps wannabe fans and younger readers to understand all the important terms, rules, and stats of baseball, such as "games behind," "magic number," "OPS," "WHIP," and "earned run average." The more seasoned fan will appreciate the many historical tidbits and may even learn a few new terms, such as "Maddux," "immaculate inning," and "Pesky's Pole." Other entries include the movies of baseball, the Negro Leagues, the World Series, baseball board games, baseball cards, and keeping score. Nothing About Baseball Is Trivial is packed with juicy baseball morsels that can serve either as an excellent introduction or a companion reference to the National Game.
