Richard Lally has written numerous popular books on baseball and other subjects, including Bombers: An Oral History of the New York Yankees and Have Glove, Will Travel (which he co-authored with for Major League pitcher Bill Lee).

Excellent book! Very informative!

After never watching an entire baseball game in her entire life, my daughter was able to read this book and learn enough to understand the game and keep up with her HS boyfriend while he talked the jargon of the game he plays and loves. She'll never be the biggest fan but at least she knows enough to appreciate the sport now.

I mean... Great to have to reference basics. Very cheap. Can't go wrong with the "For Dummies" series

Good for explaining baseball to kids.

Should be called, "How to Play Baseball of Dummies." This book did not help me understand the game that I love to watch. I wanted a deeper understanding of the game.

Just as advertised, Happy with product

Recipient loved it
