During his career as a professional baseball scout and coach, Guy Hansen helped sign an impressive roster of future big leaguers, including Bret Saberhagen, Cecil Fielder, Kevin Appier, and Jeff Conine, and coached dozens of the game’s best pitchers. In this book, Hansen details the lessons he learned during his decades in the game, including "The Answer," his key to sound pitching mechanics, and tells colorful stories of the players he encountered—stories that will reinforce those lessons. He explains what it was like to see Saberhagen when he was a scrawny high school freshman, how Bo Jackson responded when he brushed him off the plate, how Zack Greinke both amazed and frustrated him, and why the great George Brett told Guy to time him to first base before his final at bat. This book will show you baseball through the eyes of one of the sport's most impassioned and devoted teachers.
"Without Guy's ability to think outside the box and willingness to embrace the unconventional regarding my style, much of my major league career may never have come to be." -- Kevin Appier
"Guy's belief in me when I was a young player helped give me confidence in my abilities ... He saw me as a future major leaguer when few others did, and I've always been grateful for his trust and support." -- Cecil Fielder
"Prior to the 1989 season, Guy reviewed my pitching mechanics and subtle changes were made. I proceeded to set career bests in wins, earned run average, strikeouts and won a second Cy Young Award." -- Bret Saberhagen
"Among the hundreds of players I coached at UCLA for 25 years, Guy will remain at the top of my all-time favorites list. His book is a must-read for all who love America's favorite pastime." -- Glenn Mickens

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
