Everything You Need To Become The World's Best Baseball Player is a classic manual of the Great American Pastime, written by a champion professional ballplayer, team captain and manager.

Includes valuable tips on training and diet, how and when to steal bases (and how to know when to stay put!), the mechanics of pitching an unhittable curve ball and more!
