Dictionary of Sports and Games Terminology (Paperback)

The specialized jargon of some sports can be quite esoteric.
Non-Americans, for example, are likely puzzled by baseball terms
such as bunt, cut-off man, and safety squeeze, while non-British
(as well as a number of British) are likely puzzled by cricket's
Chinaman, doosra, golden duck, off-break, popping crease, and
yorker. This new dictionary gives the definitions of over 8,000
terms used in sports and games from around the world, including
mainstream sports like basketball and billiards alongside the more
obscure netball and snooker. Entries cover sports equipment,
strategies, venues, qualifying categories, awards, and
administrative bodies, while a comprehensive system of
cross-references offers assistance and clarification when needed.
One appendix lists standard abbreviations of sports ruling bodies
and administrative organizations.
