Baseball in Action (Sports in Action)

This work is intended for ages 6-9. Children will learn the rules and skills involved in playing baseball. Lively, full-colour photographs help to demonstrate such basics as pitching, fouling, and bunting. Necessary equipment and safety precautions are also covered along with: the layout of a baseball diamond and player positions; catching and throwing techniques; when to run and when to stay put; and, different variations of baseball from slow pitch to cricket.
