Overview

Have you ever wondered why baseball players are said to be In the Hole, Stepping in the Bucket, On the Bump, Flashing Leather or Getting on Their Horse?

Baseballedgy - Baseball Expressions & Terminology Handbook was written to explain to players and spectators the many fun, useful, and unique baseball terms and phrases. Baseball has carried down numerous phrases and terms and the language continues to expand. Most of the terms in the book are idioms, which means that they are completely different than what a person usually thinks of when they hear them. Examples of baseball idioms are Bullpen, Ducks on the Pond, Frozen Rope, Rolling a Pair, Hot Corner, Merry Go Round and Snow Cone. The book describes these terms and idioms related to the baseball field itself, along with those associated with batting, base running, pitching, and fielding.

Baseballedgy is full of colorful illustrations and is a fun book to read. It can serve as a "go-to" reference for young players who are learning the game and expanding their baseball related vocabulary. Reading the book together will provide children, families, and friends with an enjoyable and educational experience.

About the Author

Andrew Dinger is a young baseball player who is also a student of the game. While he was learning baseball and advancing his skills, he was always curious about the interesting phrases and terms his coaches were using. He would often ask his father about them and what they meant. One day, on the way home from baseball practice, he realized that he was accumulating quite a large vocabulary of terms and he got the idea to write a book. Andrew’s motivation behind writing the book was to provide young players and baseball fans with the opportunity to learn the expressions and terms of baseball in a fun and approachable format.
