4.05 AVERAGE

informative medium-paced

Looks at the signs of baseball and other nonverbal communications during the game.

I read the eBook version. A funny aspect of reading the eBook version of something is not having much sense of the length of it. In this case, the paper version I now see was 230 pages, but a chunk of that was the bibliography and extensive notes. So this is a reasonably short book - which I kind of regard as a good thing.

There are a _lot_ of books about baseball. Some of them treat the subject far too seriously. This was readable and light, with a lot of historical background but some more current (although not too current, published in 2003) examples too.

Nearly 200 pages of detailed-as-hell baseball gossip, enthusiastically told -- basically ticking every box I could possibly conjure. An absolute delight, highly recommended.
