To the ardent Major League baseball fan, statistics make the game.
Base hits are exciting, but the rabid fan wants to know how a
particular batter fares against a particular pitcher with a
particular count with men on base. Or, who holds the record for the
most grand slams hit against left-handed pitching after the fourth
inning. Stats like these can be found in the team media guides or
on team web sites.
But what about the other stats and records? For example, what
U.S. president holds the record for most season opening ceremonial
first pitches? Who are the only two players to be traded for
themselves?
This is where "Moon Shots and Short Hops" comes in. For the
sincere fan, it answers the questions he never thought to ask. It
is a collection of facts and figures about the game that few people
know and even fewer have ever thought about. Divided into chapters,
each covering one aspect of the game, Moon Shots even has a
collection of players who have the same names as rock stars.
Jammed with facts and figures, Moon Shots fills in the gaps that
watching the game or listening to the commentary just can't
provide.
