How to Speak Baseball: An Illustrated Guide to Ballpark Banter | Sally Cook, James Charlton

pick

My husband and son are hardcore baseball guys. Me? Well, I love them, but I don‘t speak the language, so my husband got me this for my birthday. It‘s not a long read at all, so I finished it in just about one sitting on this not quite snowed in kind of day. I don‘t feel any more versed in weird baseball terms than I did before I read it, but now I have a reference book.
