Throwback

a big-league catcher tells how the game is really played

"Covers everything that happens both in plain sight and behind the scenes, from the players' pre-game routines and the pitcher's warm-up tosses, to the hidden signs the catcher and pitcher use to communicate to outwit hitters; from infielders' often amusing conversations with men at first and third bases, to the specific positions outfielders often take based on the pitch they anticipate will next be thrown, with first-person anecdotes and insights into professional baseball, how it's played, and the "why" behind everything happening on and off the field"--Provided by publisher.
