{"product_id":"2940015241488","title":"Championship Baseball","description":"Buck Lai, scout and instructor for the Dodgers and Athletic Director at Long Island University, has incorporated in this book the techniques of teaching baseball skills developed at the Dodgers' \"College of Baseball.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition, Buck has gone one step further: he has had the young player in mind at all times while writing and illustrating his book. The book is thus doubly successful: it contains the skills and instructions acquired during Buck's more than 20 years in baseball, and at the same time it is written for the average sandlot player in a language he will understand and illustrated with drawings that will appeal to youngsters as well as instruct them. Buck has avoided the conventional, dry, technical style usually found in instructional books. With imagination and an insight into the problems of the average player, he has come up with a book that will enable youngsters to understand actual major league instruction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough it is written and illustrated to appeal strongly to young players, I'm sure that coaches and fans will find the book invaluable for their purposes. Buck has taken a logical, positive approach to baseball that will help the coach convey his ideas to his players, and that will make interesting and informative read­ing for anyone who enjoys the sport.","brand":"Jay Goldston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47074162049264,"sku":"2940015241488","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015241488_p0.jpg?v=1763620203","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015241488","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
