Spring training, a time when every team is in first place, is an
American tradition dating back to the early years of the twentieth
century. William Zinsser vividly brings to life the unique,
once-a-year relationship between Bradenton, Florida, and its
adopted team, the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 1988 the Pirates were an
unproven yet promising bunch with high hopes of competing for the
National League pennant. Given rare access to players, management,
scouts and umpires, Zinsser sought to discover how a team prepares
for the longest season in professional sports. As valid today as it
was when first published, Spring Training reveals how the
fundamentals of baseball are taught and learned. The author has
added a new introduction and postscript, which includes a lengthy
interview with manager Jim Leyland about the lessons that can be
learned from losing.
