Every baseball player should read this.
Book received promptly. The condition was much better than expected. Ted's ego can get in the way some times - but the lessons on hitting are spot on. Got it for a 13-year-old, but the lessons of hips-before-hands and take first pitch from every new pitcher are timeless.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

A good book
A classic, and I read it not as a player (I'm an adult...lol) but as a business book as Williams provides a number of life lessons if you read it with that frame of mind...Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

How to be a better hitter in the words of the master
Written by Ted Williams, regarded by many (myself included) as the greatest natural hitter in baseball history and the last person to hit .400 (.406 in 1941). This comprehensive work continues to be used by many coaches as well as hitters wishing to improve their game. I presented it to a Little Leaguer who takes his baseball very seriously.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
