The mission of this book is to simply engage the mind to the many facets of baseball.  It is a simple yet complex game.  Sharing my personal experiences on and off the field, I will convey to you I have always been a student of the game. You and I are students of the game.  We are responsible to play, understand and carry on the information the way we have come to know as the inner workings of baseball. Speaking of student of the game, the photo used for the cover of this book is from the Baseball Hall of Fame.  Any guess to the colored baseballs? Considered to be “the greatest student of hitting,” Ted Williams gave us what he believed to be his batting average based on the location of the pitch.  He was the last player in MLB history to hit over .400 avg., (.406 average, Boston Red Sox 1941). Ted Williams wouldn’t realize until later in life but he was a student of the game the moment he touched a bat and ball.  

 

Starting from a young age I collected baseball cards, stayed outside until it was dark playing whiffle ball, anything and everything baseball.  My passion runs deep, and if you’re reading this good chance you feel the same way. 

 

Daily Vitamins of Baseball Volume 1 is a personal journey zipping around stories, quotes and facts about baseball. I suggest you read one page per day.  If you’re a player, reflect, take notes and apply any tips that may be helpful.
